Part of the problem is that the collage/ university degree is only used to weed out applicants for some jobs. 20 yrs ago, my wife worked in a company that was hiring sales staff, anyone without a BA. was never considered. Why do you need a degree to sell? Some of my parents friends and our friends work/worked in sales without degrees. How does a degree from a collage or university make a better sales person? To me, the degree just makes the HR persons job easier. Cam
