Getting Hired

 This is a very true practice today. HR departments control it all except sales. If you do not have the degree you are screened out automatically regardless of qualifications and even exemplary experience. 
 This is very sad because they are getting, along with the "sheepskin", an individual indoctrinated by the liberal institutions that have no clue about the business world, managing real people or having the skills necessary to excel. In many cases it will take them years to learn, adapt and understand before they can excel in these positions. 
 Many people (Myself Included) who after graduating high school entered the workforce at the bottom and worked their way through the various levels of a company(s) learning and excelling before moving up. HR departments continually filter these people out in the first round and end up with mostly incompetent managers trying to control employees that know their jobs and are frustrated by the stupidity of PC management.
 This model encourages lower productivity, problems between management and employees and reduces loyalty to the employer (ie increased turnover). 
 There were probably qualified candidates already inside the company that could do the job better but lacking the "almighty sheepskin" were never given a chance to prove themselves. Instead someone who partied for four years on campus usually with government assistance gets hired over an individual with proven experience.
