I've never seen companies work so hard to keep applicants away as much as they do today. Boomers are retiring, millenials are looking to fill those roles, X and Z are barely a rounding error (sorry to say). And yet the job descriptions could fill a journal going on about company culture, requirements, ideal candidate, etc. So when a job posting goes up that requires a college degree or equivalent experience you soon learn they really want the later. And if you could get experience without the expensive time wasting degree then what was the point?
