It hasn’t been that long; the temptations for some global world order would try to resurrect the old European values once travel and communication became easy. But the concept of a college education isn’t ancient, but the values of good labor are as old as time. And the experiment, like many concepts of globalism, has come to a crashing end. In 2024, 45% of companies plan to eliminate their bachelor’s degree requirements so they can access labor that is more appropriate for their needs. The world has figured out something it has been trying to hide for at least half a century: you can’t buy your way into intelligence, which was the assumption with college programs. Then, to make matters worse, it was the colleges who were the first around the world to adopt a World Economic Forum outlook, where to get a degree after you’ve paid these excessively liberal people a fortune of your hard-earned money, you had to become some form of desecrator of social order to get a good enough grade to graduate. When I think of college, the very first thing that jumps into my mind is illicit sex and way too much drinking. And after four years of that lifestyle, what kind of people do we think are produced for the world? Partying is the value system that the college brand sold to the world, and for liberalism, it became the boot camp of society. Those who did it and endured it were rewarded with white color jobs at a higher rate of pay. But what companies have had to admit, especially after Covid, is that they don’t need or want those kinds of job fulfillment from college degree types of people. And they are turning away from the college scam.
Key findings:
- 45% of companies plan to eliminate bachelor’s degree requirements for some positions in 2024
- 55% of companies eliminated bachelor’s degree requirements in 2023
- 70% say they eliminated bachelor’s degree requirements to create a more diverse workforce
- 4 in 5 employers value experience over education when evaluating job candidates
- Two-thirds of employers have candidates complete test assignments
I know many people with Master’s degrees and Ph.D.s. Most of the people I deal with daily are people with advanced degrees and get very excited when their favorite college teams play a sporting event like basketball or football. It would be an understatement to say they lose their minds on rationality on such occasions. I also know many backyard geniuses who run derby cars on hot summer nights at fairgrounds to roaring crowds who barely graduated high school. My wife and I have also been to college, so I have seen a lot of what works and doesn’t over the years, and I’ve never been a fan of the college approach to labor fulfillment. In 2021, the scam was revealed when the political left took things too far and showed all their cards with the same kind of process they used to sucker companies into hiring their college graduates over other types of employees. This time, it was the attempt to launch the COVID-19 vaccine shot in the same way, and it was interesting to see how corporate behavior went into instant compliance mode. The way that corporate behavior adapted to COVID mandates, social distancing, and vaccine shot compliance was precisely the game that was played with pay scales and access to white color jobs in corporate environments. College was designed to remove merit from the hiring process and ignore raw genius in exchange for adherence to a global administrative state. The experiment has failed dramatically, and companies are no longer willing to suffer the impacts of such a lackluster workforce.
My experience with college applicants is that it might give them some discipline structurally in social conditions that they might not have acquired from their parents, but it fails to do anything to provide them with some level of intelligence. Many of these people would have been better off watching The Wizard of Oz as kids. The degree they get only has an actual use as a psychological mechanism. It does little to nothing for an employer looking for that next genius that can bring them a competitive edge over their rivals in marketplace capitalism. College was never designed to do what it was selling: to be an institution of intelligence. Instead, they became incubation factories for liberalism and were created from the start to be so. I wish they were different, but they have only been around in popular culture since entering the 20th Century. But labor has existed since the beginning of time, and our measure of good and bad labor hasn’t changed. It was based on performance, and to hire the college graduate of liberalism, we had to ignore those rules and assume that the piece of paper that cost many tens of thousands of dollars to get, and untold personal desecrations of an individual lifestyle, were going to benefit companies in some way. To say that the experiment of global liberalism has been very costly to companies over the last several decades has been a severe understatement, and now, since Covid put everything on the front page, companies are finally admitting to the failure. You can’t buy talent; you have to develop it with experience.
Most people reading this are probably college graduates but think about it before you get too defensive. What is the first thing you think of when considering college? I remember a lot of nice girls and guys who managed to get out of high school somewhat intact, as virgins who did not drink at all or say curse words (this was in the 80s) who, by the time they were away from their parents in a college, turned into complete lunatics. I knew one such girl who was clean as a whistle, graduated high school and was most poised to enter adult life as Mary Poppins. I saw her next at Miami University on a Friday night, being gang raped on the hood of a car with her clothes ripped off and thrown everywhere, nearly passed out from intoxication. People were walking by like it was an everyday occurrence. People didn’t have cell phones back then, so nobody recorded it. But nobody was all that shocked. These days, the whole thing would be a video on Porn Hub. It happens every night somewhere, especially on college campuses. And that poor girl was ruined for life, never to recapture what she had been and never would. She got a good job, but was she a good employee? Of course not; she was destroyed and would remain that way for the rest of her life. Her kids would always know, and so would her husband. And everyone who was there with her that night. And that wasn’t the last time for her. She had three more years of college. College was never about getting more brilliant for the political left and their desire for an administrative state. It was about desecrating the Christianized America and forcing them through the gauntlet so that their kids could get a better job than they had when the parents were kids themselves. And they’d throw their kids into that rat race to save them from blue-collar work that the world didn’t respect. But the game has not produced what employers want, which is actual skill, and now they are paying for it. They are finally making the necessary changes they should have all along and admitting that the college-trained employee is not very good for them. What they want is talent built by experience. And there is no way to cheat that. You have to live life to gain that experience, and desecrating yourself in public drunk on a weekend of debauchery hasn’t helped corporate America be very competitive. And now they are finally admitting to it.
