Yeah, that's a thing I think Boomers have a hard time understanding because when they were entering the workforce a 4-year degree was something special that made someone stand out. But now it doesn't because so many more people have them. It's just become a baseline requirement for a lot of jobs. In the field I work in a 4-year degree is required but most of the time a degree on its own is not enough to get your foot in the door anymore. You need an internship for that. --- "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." <cite>UnsteadyOwl posted [p:978613220] in Mike Rowe ...
