This is because before one can get a position here they need to get a state license. Before applying for that the applicant is required to go for an apprenticeship (that is AFTER completing a bachelor's degree). Getting some company to take on an apprentice is only possible if family owns the company, otherwise (even unpaid) they will insist that the applicant comes in with degree, license, experience, etc as a set package or they will move on to another application where they can get all that.

Cancer Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Here in Microsoft-and-Amazon Land, the Comp Sci degrees are in demand. Otherwise the list doesn't really surprise me. I admit to a powerful prejudice against Exercise Science, for reasons we've gone over before in this thread; I am not alone in those feelings. As one Creative Writing instructor (!!) said, "Since when have you needed a bachelor's degree to become a playground monitor?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pariah Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Funny that Education is on that list, considering that you pretty much need an Education degree to get a job in that field (alternative routes to licensure notwithstanding).

Cancer Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 Purely as a guess, some phantasm of a "typical" private-sector employer or headhunter is probably the perspective in that assembled list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't care about degrees, only the certificates that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 7, 2022 Report Share Posted October 7, 2022 I encounter some CS students when I teach in the physics with calculus series (like I did back last winter and spring), but I have no idea if there are kids among them who are having trouble finding employment.
