Google Has a Plan to Disrupt the College Degree

I'm signing up
Like @UpAndComing mentioned for specific skillsets I've seen many job postings where the degree is optional.i understand the logic behind it
i'm just saying just because google is offering this doesn't mean all companies are going to follow suit by valuing them the same.

Life is absurd. Lean into it.
If only I was smart enough
Most companies just use the degree requirements to limit applicants. Because their too lazy and stupid to properly vet candidates.
Ever speak to any Corporate Recruiters lately? Most don't have the foggiest idea on what there doing. A month ago this Corporate Recruiter asked me to explain what half the shyt meant on the job description he sent me.
I'm like you couldn't ask the hiring manager these questions before screening candidates?
I hope this puts these colleges out of business. Most are just squandering the money they get for tuition yet continue to raise their prices.

Those aren't engineering jobs then That's some technician shyt (not that there's anything wrong with that)
This will only apply to some jobs. You'll never be able to "Google degree" proper Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering, because a proper understanding of the fundamentals is key. And color me a traditionalist, but I don't see anything wrong with making sure college graduates have a basic grasp of culture and ethics and other subjects not directly related to their profession
Seems like this certificate stuff should be appended to the trade schools we currently have. You can be a plumber or a basic coder, or go to college.

The problem with this is that you have to get companies on board. I can only speak from the IT world but a lot of companies value a degree way too much. They are asking for one for even basic entry level positions. That will need yo change for this program to be successful.

I completely agree with the bolded. This should be seen more as an alternative to college rather than replacement.Those aren't engineering jobs then That's some technician shyt (not that there's anything wrong with that)

The problem is a lot of kids come to Companies with degrees and can't perform..

Keep in mind Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Reddit, Dell, Yahoo were all founded on COLLEGE campuses. The same companies now saying you dont need college? Why? Its because they dont want competitors rising up. If they can stifle innovation at its source its a win for them. Black people dont fall for the Okee Doke
