[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a place that 20 years ago mainly hired only Ivy and near Ivys. The most impressive person on my team didn’t even go to college. She was hired as a temp when she moved to a city seeking adventure because her family was too poor to send her to college. Her supervisor saw talent and hired her permanently and she was on a steep promotion trajectory. I recruited her (internally) to my team and didn’t even know she didn’t go to college until she had been on my team for almost a year. She’s now a Director. She’s got amazing initiative and willingness to just take responsibility for whatever we throw her way. [/quote]

And THIS is what used to happen in industries all over the US. It is a very rare field that will promote someone to higher-level positions without a degree. [/quote]

I feel like in so many companies you can't even get in the door without a degree now. Even temp agencies often require a degree of some sort (at least a two year degree) now.[/quote]
