Why is a college degree more valued than experiance?
Monday, May 4th, 2009clouded_halo asked:
Im finding more and more in the world that companies require a college degree (usually at least a B.S.) in place of real world experiance. I am currently a college junior (electrical engineering) and have friends who have already graduated. They are getting jobs over people with 10+ years experiance and only an associates degree or no degree at all. Comparing what I have learned in college to what I have learned in my internship, I would say field experiance is much more valuable than book learning.
