I mean it isn’t like you need some overly specific knowledge to be say an entry level business analyst or project management role. What you do need to be able to do is properly write reports, research solutions, communicate your findings and work with third parties to implement them, all skills honed in any degree program. There is no specialized math, sciences, or anything similar required for most jobs. And while one could say ‘then why require a degree’, when you realize the average reading level of the US is at a 7th grade level and 20% read below a third grade level it explains why companies require degrees.

Ouch. I didn't know it is so bad. How could the people allow that? Why is nobody on the street and marching for more education?
