With all the talk about employers dropping the requirement for employees to have a college degree, I am wondering about the reality.
In your group, what % of employees have a college degree and what % of managers don’t have a college degree? What type of work (software, cloud, mainframe … ) is your group.
this is the sort of great question that only HR schmuck, Miz Nickel and Dime and the IIT failed CEO Alvind can answer truthfully ...if they still believe in truth.
I’m sorry but outside a few exceptions if one doesn’t have a college degree then I question their intellectual capacity and resilience in achieving a goal. I get college is expensive but if one has the intellectual horsepower proven by grades and test scores one can find a lot of universities that provide a lot of merit aid

My experience with the Indians on our team is that many seem to have a bachelor’s degree from India and a Masters from a US university. So if they paid out of state tuition, which will be the case, their education will be the same cost as an a local.
But paying $400000 for a degree is nuts- even if you can afford it.
It costs today nearly $400k to get a college degree in America from a private university; then companies like IBM replace new graduates by Indi.ans: pretty cool system!!
College degrees in STEM mean something. Other degrees come with a massive dose of attitude. 2 year technical degrees (associate) have value. Some people just want to learn a subject and not the other stuff that brings no value.
In all my years of working here, I have only met one programmer without a college degree.
Managers without degrees may exist, I haven’t met any.
