Now you won’t have to get some online degree from a diploma mill to hang on to your job. Good move.
Too many people are educated waaaay beyond their intelligence...................
No wonder the professors, lawyers, politicians, and CEOs are only working from the same playbook: they all graduated from the same 10-20 universities.
At the state or county level, whenever I contact a “governmental” employee (holding a $65,000 per year salaried position) by email, they will always call me on the phone to discuss the matter. One because they don’t want to memorialize their responses and thus be held accountable for them, and two because they have zero writing skills. They are functionally illiterate. If they reply by email at all, it is with one that is a stock reply that has been pre-configured for them. All they do is plug in your name and address. Disgusting.
It’s very hard to measure true merit. A good college degree(s) CSN admittedly be a rough proxy in that it demonstrates an ability to focus and perform required tasks. In previous times, it also certified some intelligence, reasoning ability, and subject matter qualification. Except for engineering and the hard sciences, those college outcomes Are mostly lacking nowadays. The commies jade destroyed much of academia into little more than communist party indoctrination centers that inculcate hostile and dysfunctional attitudes, racism, and “entitlement” in place of honest American values, positive ambition, and any other attributes for productivity and success at work or in life. ———- so most college degrees are worthless at best nowadays, and the feds are simply recognizing reality by discounting them in the hiring process. Indeed, much of the real world outside government has recognized this fact years for several years already. BUT I MUST SAY I’m concerned that this casting aside of verifiable standards might lead a future administration to turn our civil service into more of A political patronage charade than it already is. Imho, a really positive first step now will be to cut the federal payroll in half
There’s still the unavoidable problem that every employer will have to deal with: Unless you know a prospective employee personally or can get references who are trustworthy people in your business, you are going to need a system of credentials/certifications to measure a person’s competency in any given line of work.
Winning!!!
Probationary period
All the jobs I listed above require skill, hard work, team work and tenacity.
We should allow industry leaders to become teachers too.
The government and teacher’s union wants to control who can teach through certifications.
Many government workers are not even US citizens now. They are Indians.
“It’s very hard to measure true merit. ...”
A very good and in my opinion accurate post!
As Reagan might say, we won’t be abandoning universities; they abandoned us.
Uh oh. Is he ending the corporate crony taxe dodger collusion with preventing citizens from degrees by harsh cut classes. Then they turn around and must hire H1Bs with lousy educqtion, but a piece of paper. O wait he just let 600,000 H1bs in.
You bring up an interesting point. Government workers come in two types: Employees and consultants/contractors. Will we see mid-level management that makes these decisions shift more toward employees or more toward consultants?
(full disclosure. I am currently consulting to government.)
True. We are having to “block all emails” from our local colkege. The administrators and unions keep sending out communistic or racist political bullsheit that only serves up distress us why we voted to pay taxes for the joint. They’re using our money to undermine and attack us instead of providing quality education
Very good. It takes a businessman to understand that talent is talent, whether it comes from Columbia or the School Of Hard Knocks. The object is to get the job done, and done well.
I can’t count the times my friend and I, both without degrees, were tasked with cleaning up the messes made by our highly-degreed, but mostly incompetent co-workers.
Post University Degree Future - bump for later...
I’m surprised feminazis and blacktivists haven’t opposed this vigorously; their unearned reparations degrees forced companies not just to hire them, but promote them as well (under threat of lawsuit).
Females have been over 50% of college classes for decades; they still have little interest in STEM fields - and White guys stopped going to school for them because nobody is allowed to hire them.
