This article outlines an opinion that organizations either tried skills based hiring and reverted to degree required hiring because it was warranted, or they didn't adapt their process in spite of executive vision.

Since this article is non industry specific, what are your observations or opinions of the technology sector? What about the general business sector?

Should first world employees of businesses be required to obtain degrees if they reasonably expect a business related job?

Do college experiences and academic rigor reveal higher achieving employees?

Is undergraduate education a minimum standard for a more enlightened society? Or a way to hold separation between classes of people and status?

Is a masters degree the new way to differentiate yourself where the undergrad degree was before?

Edit: multiple typos, I guess that's proof that I should have done more college 😄

I was lucky when I started and people took chances on me. In return I take chances on people I think could have great potential.

We have something in common here.

While posting code on GitHub is slightly dev specific, I think the principles you've shared likely goes across a lot of industry. If people show initiative, are life long learners, they'll probably land something, with or without a degree.
