Is there anything more FRUSTRATING then that? Other than being college educated and not being able to find a reasonable paying job in which you can live off and pay your school loans off
I think whats even more frustrated when they make the job listing for these management position, I thought one of the General "requirements" are a bachelor's degree or more?
I have had bosses since graduation without ONE college credit to their name.

Perhaps nepotism or the fact they started their jobs that didn't require a college degree at the time. Now it's pretty mandatory you need a degree if you want to work anywhere except burger king.
Further proof that the grand college degree should be printed on toilet paper - that's about what it's good for.
Degrees are a VERY crappy indicator of skill level, trainability, work ethic, ability, or overall talent.
Sorry, OP, you're realizing that real life experience isn't what you were fed coming up.
I suppose so.. But it should be grounds for a lawsuit if they put in the general requirements for the job opening, "Bachelor's degree REQUIRED**" and then you find out the guy who is in the position hasn't taken one college class

Good lord
My god. You go from fairly entitled in your first post to lawsuit in your second. Ever wonder where the bad rap comes from?
Also, usually says "BS/BA degree or equivalent". Want to know what "equivalent" is? Proven track record and ability.

What?!?! Why on earth does that constitute grounds for legal action?
Is that the logic you learned with your fancy degree?
I am a non college grad who has had several college grads under my rank. They can be an annoyance for the mere fact that they often overestimate their own knowledge. They usually lack the critical practical experience, particularly concerning how things really work in the private sector. Ya, sure, that thing you learned in college sounds great, but this is how it's done outside the classroom... There's nothing wrong with getting a degree, so long as you realize what entry level really entails.
Why does OP assume that those with degrees have student loan debt? Why does the OP assume that college graduates can't find reasonable paying jobs?
IMO, the goal of the first post is to cast judgement on college graduates for being losers with college debt and then to assume they give a hoot about their manager's education in comparison to their education.
Also - why would anyone pry into the education of their manager? Why would anyone care whether their manager took 1 college course or had a 4 year degree or whether their manager is a high school dropout or a cross dresser or a former olympic athlete or a champion poker player. It doesn't matter.

What are you talking about Andy? You have an associate's degree!
I've worked for a few folks without degrees. Not uncommon in my industry. Never had an issue with it as they were more experienced.
Once you get in the real world, degrees and titles aren't as important as ability to get things done.
