If you want a good job, you need to have a college degree. At least, that’s the story we have been hearing for decades now. In many ways, having that degree on your resume has served as a proxy of innate talent and potential. It may also have something to do with minimizing risk: if someone has a college degree, the thinking is that they’ll make a better employee than someone who didn’t pursue traditional higher education.
But we are seeing a shift in this mindset, especially as many employers continue to struggle to find enough employees to help them grow their businesses. In fact, some employers have begun to question whether a college degree even matters when it comes to hiring. According to a recent survey conducted by Multiverse, some 67% of the 1,200 business leaders who responded don’t think today’s higher education system gives graduates the skills they need on the job.
