Duke Power) has caused at least some of the “Degree required” qualifications?

You can get a degree and have the minimum grade-point average (2.0), which is barely passing, in other words, you got all D’s. To me, that tells me, that actual classroom learning was not your strong point. Okay, there’s a big difference between theoretical learning and actual living the event, but what I am referring to is how much think-development did this person achieve and can they apply it to real life. Some people, especially those who attend top10 colleges learn the art of persuasion talks to actual factual knowledge, hence their ability to create believable fiction out of a fallacy. If that what your company needs go ahead and hire a glib speaker over an actual performer. Otherwise, where the degree is gotten has no effect on ability as a name has no weight in performance if the person was a mediocre student.

The 2019 college admissions scandal exposed a lot of the practices, legitimate and not, that heavily weigh admission in favor of the privileged. So going to a top school does not necessarily mean someone is smart or hardworking.
