What if we hired for skills, not degrees?

Annoying to see a facebook post almost everyday saying degrees doesnt measure skill or that character cant be bought and skills can always be learned on the job. Even those posts about leader > boss.

Character is an important attribute, but people need something quantifiable, headhunters simply cannot interview every single one, degrees filter them out.

If we wanted to hire skills over degree go on ahead and look for the small hipsteresque autoshop who can spare the time looking for #riseandgrind type of people to get your #hustleon

People nowadays seem to give college a bad name, no its not wasting 4+ years of your life when you couldve gotten your grind on. They really do teach a lot of stuff and get you ahead of the curve.
