You know a long time ago, say the 50 every one had to interview and assess
each applicant on these interviews which included the high school diploma.
College at that time was mainly for professionals doctors, lawyers ect. As
time passed the high school diploma with the social promotion came to mean
less and less. Then came the Jr College and it was embraced by the business
world as the best tool to qualify a applicant. Back then the position of
teacher was tantamount to a volunteer position, with women filling most of
the jobs, the primary remuneration was the respect a teacher got (you can't
buy that). As it became necessary for both members of a family to work to
support the family the need to increase the pay of teachers became apparent,
then men moved into the field and the need increased. The attitude of the
students in the class room deteriorated and the respect for the teacher
disappeared. The appeasement of the students destroyed the structure of the
school and brought the level of achievement down. When you look at the cost
of education and what we get for it you start to wonder what its for.
Teachers seem to be another animal at the trough, with questionable outcome.
The HR people are the results of this system and just follow the regiment
they have been taught. There are tons of people with no college (jr or
otherwise) who have common sense and a work ethic that make for a excellent
employee who never get pass HR.

Too many HR people doing the screening that only know the "buzzwords". They
have no idea of what a qualified candidate would be.
