[quote=Anonymous]I was having a conversation with one of my DD's friends parents this weekend about jobs and degrees. We both felt there is a lot if degree inflation in this area, i.e. jobs requiring a BA when just an AA or HS diploma will suffice, an MA instead of a BA, etc. I had told her that I was wondering why a job I was interested in required Ph.D when that was not rely necessary for the skillet required to do the job. She says she sees the same thing in her industry - people with years if demonstrated experience getting passed over by less-skilled and less experienced people b/c they have a degree that is not necessarily relevant to doing the actual job. She felt that this type of degree inflation goes on in this region b/c we are so top heavy with JDs, MBAs, MAs, PhDs, etc. that managers feel they need the degree and dpsomehiw weight more then skill and experience.
