Most jobs do require at least some post-HS education. Only 36% of jobs are even open to accept applications from people with just a HS degree. quote:By educational attainment: 35 percent of the job openings will require at least a bachelor’s degree, 30 percent of the job openings will require some college or an associate’s degree and 36 percent of the job openings will not require education beyond high school.

Trabisnikof posted:Most jobs do require at least some post-HS education. Only 36% of jobs are even open to accept applications from people with just a HS degree. So just a bit more than a third of jobs actually require a degree, and there are still way more non-degree jobs than jobs that are only for degree holders. Well more than a third of jobs are open to those who are only high school graduates. So it’s obviously a ridiculous exaggeration to say that one must have a bachelor’s degree to get a job. There are vast numbers of jobs that do not require one, including a huge quantity of jobs that can be obtained with only a high school diploma.

How about we just burn the turrets on the mcmansion for symbolism, and allow the main structure to remain intact for housing until public works can demolish and rebuild . I'm pretty sure Warren has a plan for that, but we only burn the turrets that are approved by the local HOA over a ten year period.

All of this of course dances around the real point, which is that you don’t think that a degree is a plus. Well, employers don’t agree with you. If you legislate away an employer’s ability to have that preference, you will only make hiring more arbitrary. I understand you don’t really value education, hence, anti-intellectualism, like I said. Employers like education because it helps people see and understand nuance. You know what? I think I understand why leftists don’t see much use for it.

Love to defend the idea that buying a degree from some lovely for-profit college should allow you to get jobs that you can’t get otherwise. It’s about making sure you have the piece of paper, not the skills or experience.

Well more than a third of jobs are open to those who are only high school graduates. the post he's quoting literally says the opposite, that a bit more than a third of the jobs requires a HS degree, while something like 65% requires either bachelor's or college this is the "intellectual" in him, I guess, just plain lying his rear end off whenever he can stop replying and maybe he'll get bored and go away

Ogmius815 posted:Yeah white people without college degrees are well known for their rational decision making and forward thinking attitudes. I think we should have more of them, and in positions of power too! I like how you're completely ignoring the fact that PoC (well, black and hispanic Americans anyways) are less likely to have gone to college and that privileging degree-holding has the practical effect of just reinforcing the racial gap in employment outcomes. These discussions are basically just as pointless as arguing with a Republican, because you already believe all your opinions are "common sense" and don't even need to be supported or justified in the first place. It's the main thing that drives support for Warren (and why that support mostly comes from more well-off college-educated whites) - her behavior is what your average upper-middle class white person (or people otherwise in that cultural sphere) associate with intelligence and competence, and that carries precedence over the actual details of her plans or background.

There’s a better solution to this problem than hiring under qualified non-grads though, and most companies are already using it: consider diversity as a plus in the hiring process.
