Re:Rich man's GED (Score 2, Insightful)

College degrees pretty much say "I can be taught." It does not say what you were taught, nor does it say what you know. Just last week I had to instruct a person with a PhD in his title along with the position of "Chief Technology Officer" on how to read an e-mail header. I do not think that everyone is against degrees, I feel that most are against what Corporate America places on degrees. I myself have worked in the IT field for about 30+ years, I dropped out of college after my second year. I have worked for my present company for 17 years. If I were to apply today for my current job I would not be qualified. I do not have a degree. That is what erks everyone. Bill Gates is not qualified for the position he currently holds. His own company would not hire him if he were to apply today. He does not have a degree.
