Employers are fed up with college 'waste,' opt for skilled blue-collar workers instead

[rightwinger]

If you don’t need workers with a college degree……why require it?

Why don’t they just require a HS Diploma?

For example, if you are PC and Leftist enough, and get into Harvard and get a degree in basket weaving, you will make 7 figures.

Demonstrates how ignorant Conservatives are about higher education

Dumbest fucks I've ever seen are university grads.

There are some smart grads who fall through the cracks in spite of leftist apparatchiks, but for the most part the more "educated" some people are, the dumber they look.

At this HS, near me, when students graduate they already have an Associates Degree in a STEM field. No tuition,

Where did your doctor get their education - Dumbfuck Academy like you?
How about that bridge you crossed this week? What about the thing you are typing on to spill your nonsense?

Ohh yes. The Chinese are way better educated than our own woke graduates.

Employers don't value college degrees as much as originally thought, recent survey data shows, and the disdain is behind a restored appreciation for blue-collar job-seekers that bring skill and experience over education.


The study, known as the Freedom Economy Index (FEI), a joint project of job recruiting service RedBalloon and PublicSquare, surveyed opinions from 70,000 small businesses between Oct. 25 and Oct. 30, with 905 respondents, a 3% margin of error and a 95% confidence level.

When asked about the "return on investment" of higher education, a whopping 67% of participating employers responded "strongly no" when asked if they believed institutions of higher education were "graduating students with relevant skills that today's business community needs."

The Freedom Economy Index (FEI) found that small businesses held disdain for college-educated workers and favored blue-collar workers with skills and experience.

Our turnover rate is ridiculous with this latest generation, grown adults crying because they aren't equipped to work efficiently in an office or plant. Many claim not enough praise as reason for leaving. Todays new employees are yesterday's kids that received trophies for showing up and heard "Good Job" for the simplest of things. -OG

I changed job in 2004, went from being employed to self employed in a totally different career. So in my last job, as a manager, I tried to employ those over 50 yrs of age because the younger generation were a waste of time. I can only imagine it's even worse.

Even since 2004, I have never ever sub contracted to anyone under the age of 45.

It depends on the college and the degree

For example, if you are PC and Leftist enough, and get into Harvard and get a degree in basket weaving, you will make 7 figures.

But most Americans cannot afford Harvard or don't meet their woke criteria for being enriched by the Left as a reward.

And here we are in 2023 when appliances and cars are disposable when something goes wrong and NASA can’t put a man in space.

Why do you say that? Unless you are talking specifically about EVs, cars are not disposable. Neither are washers, dryers, dishwashers, or refrigerators.

NASA can put a man in space anytime it wants. but uses civilian rockets.
