> The reason college is a requirement is because everyone who is in charge went to one, and believes it is necessary.

Somewhat. At least in our company, my friends in HR say that it's not as really a hard requirement to be successful at the job itself. Customer help desk doesn't need a bachelors. But it might cut down the number of resumes they get from hundreds to manageable number that that they can actually review in a reasonable time frame. It's also why it's an easily waived requirement if you get referred by a current employee (it's also how I got the interview at my current job).

Wouldn't surprise me if there's others using the same strategy.
