Yes, a college degree generally doesn’t mean much.
But that’s because there’s 3,500+ colleges in the US, and 99% of them are basically “open enrollment” or close to it. Pretty much anyone can go to those, so having been admitted to one, or doing well at one, doesn’t mean a whole lot.
The student body at the 5, 10, 15% admission rate schools is a different story.
Yes, it’s not a guarantee, and you can have duds at those schools and gems at a 90% admission school, for sure.
But hiring is a lot about playing the odds.
