This is something I can get behind. The private sector needs to expand this practice, as well.

Job market has been tough as shit for my entire adult life. If anything the issue is hiring based on connections instead of skills. I dont know any companies who have been accused of hiring degrees over skills unless it's just for an entry level job that doesnt have any specific skill requirements.

Trump was going off the other night on twitter after a good snort over lobsters in Maine and why Obama ruined it.

There isn't a single Trump fan who can speak about sanity and mental "anything" and get away with it.

The dude is a complete orange slime covered fat cupcake.

I think this is a great initiative. Even beyond just access to jobs, there's also a pay differential for jobs based on whether someone holds a degree, including jobs where the person's degree is in no way relevant to the job.

The 1 and only time I ever worked a shitty private-sector office job was as a transcriptionist, and I was paid more than my counterparts at the time who started at the same time I did purely because I possessed a BA in Psychology.

"The White House isn’t eliminating degree requirements altogether but instead will stress skills in jobs where having a degree is less important. "


That's just the sensible thing to do. :)

And like the article already said, it can be expected that minorities applying for a public job will benefit disproportionately from no longer being blocked by the lack of a degree. (For certain jobs where a degree indeed isnt necessary.)

You can find a bad pic of every public figure if you search long enough.
