The Degree game is dwindling down brehs
Before having a Bachelor's was the only thing required. A person could get a Bachelor in literally anything and could get a 70k job and a good career. I'm seeing more and more companies now caring for which licenses or certifications you got. Some wouldn't even give an interview without it
Got people in my family who are teachers and some with 20+ years experience. Can't even get a full time teaching job anymore unless they pass the Teacher's Certification test, and that test ain't easy
Now I'm seeing on job applications. It went from "Bachelor degree required" to "Bachelor Degree, or any relative experience and certs"
Computer/IT jobs won't hire unless you got those certs
Management jobs won't hire you unless you got that Six Sigma cert or PMP cert
Finance jobs want that Quickbooks cert or Series 7 license
Engineer jobs want that MatLab cert or MEP design cert
Welding Jobs want those AWS licenses
HVAC jobs want that EPA license
Office jobs they want you to be already trained in Excel, Powerpoint, Word, etc
Accounting jobs want that CPA license
Companies don't want to train anymore. You gotta come in with the required skill, or your resume getting deleted
