mastheads. I walked across large stages to shake hands, grab a piece of folded paper and to smile like a good boy. I did just fine. Having an Education Doesn’t Mean You Will Get a Job. Not Anymore. But it cost me tens of thousands of dollars. And none of it helped me land my current job . Seriously. I didn’t even submit a resume. My work and hustle got me my job. Ditto for my prior job. This is the point where you start yelling at your computer. “But… but…” I know, I know. You’ve been told by every relative you know, your guidance counsellor, even your barista that you need to go to post-secondary. “It’s the only way I’m going to get a good job!” you report, spraying chocolate milk on your screen. That couldn’t be further from the truth—anymore. Here’s why. I’ve hired dozens of students. I’ve sat in hundreds of interviews. I glance at what school you went to and what program you studied. Glance. Some employers are even dropping the need for a degree. The vast amount of employers today are looking for a cultural fit. They’re looking for your talents . They’re looking for what you’ve done (your portfolio) and what you can do for the company. They, truthfully, could give a rat’s ass about where you went to school. In fact, according to a study in TIME magazine , “while 59% of students said they were well prepared to apply their knowledge to the real world, just 23% of employers said so.” Ouch. With everyone holding a degree or diploma these days, the playing field has been evened. Case in point: 90% of my colleagues that I graduated with aren’t in writing jobs. Reading the Washington Post shows that “just 27% of college grads had a job that was closely related to their major.” That means three out of four of your group members are wasting their fucking time. And it might not even be the guy who didn’t contribute. That 30- something thousand dollars in education isn’t going to move the needle for you. Sorry. That 30-something thousand dollars in education isn’t going to move the needle for you . Because “if everyone has a degree, no one has a degree.” For your parents, 30 or 40-something years ago getting a degree did make you stand out from a high school diploma. That is no more, as everyone has a degree. |
