Having had people apply for Help Desk positions with useless advanced degrees, I will tell you when I've hired them in the past, I've always had problems involving arrogance. Therefore, I won't hire somebody like that...they are "overqualified" -- and are basically unteachable.
I would imagine that there are plenty of hamburger-flipping managers who would likely feel the same.
I’ve never been in the hiring business, but I’m sure all the managers out there are looking at that certificate and putting it in the round file. If I had a business, that’s what I would do, because it will lead to nothing but trouble in the future.
The fewer libs in general conservatives hire the better overall. I never understood why today right wing business owners continue to do it. I’d think they all would have shared your experience by now.
Besides, it’s not like there is a shortage of applicants qualified for about anything these days. And finding one without WyminZ/gay studies degrees should be easy enough.
