Many employers currently discriminate against applicants by requiring a college degree.
Unless a job requires a degree in a SPECIFIC area, it should be unlawful to discriminate against candidates simply based upon having ANY degree.
Many candidates would otherwise qualify for positions based upon experience.
Most people who have a undergrad degree in X end up working in Y or Z, unrelated to their specific area of education, yet are unfairly given an advantage over a candidate without a degree who may even have more experience.
This inequity is further illustrated by many examples of innovative leaders in recent history without a college degree; Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Michael Dell, etc.
What if Apple or Microsoft had required a college degree for CEO?
