I would think the paradigm of hiring people with college degrees is the best way to go ,is shattered.
Sorry, But HR has a HUGE input on hiring, and most HR positions are college grads; so...
There is a large property down the road from me where the wife is a realtor and the husband has a HVAC business.
None of which required college and both of which are doing EXTREMELY well financially; judging from the fine looking horses and other animals they have that reside in better outbuildings than my HOUSE!
