    Example of another generalization that's grown within businesses is that millennial college grads with bachelor's degrees are worse employees than ones that never went to college due to the excessive frequency of said individuals not actually retaining any of the knowledge or skills associated with their degree and instead simply dragging large amount of socially toxic behaviors into the workplace. Said generalization has resulted in a large amount of jobs that in the past normally listed bachelors degree in it's requirements having that item removed.
    I have never seen this reason being cited, when this requirement has been removed from a job posting. Rather on the (rare - not large ) occasions I have seen it removed, it was solely due to realization that skills required for a position did not obligate someone to have a specific degree, and even then, it was often due to difficulty filling a position.

    The reason many have removed bachelor's degree requirements from job listings is actually due to excessive occurrences of employers hiring someone that did little more than rehearse their job interview answers to get hired only to end up a burden due to not being able to perform their job duties or functions while focusing on excuses and attempts at labeling things as microaggressions in an attempt to avoid consequences or obtain preferential treatment. Employers began finding it more cost effective to hire people not exposed to lower level college culture and expend the resources to train them themselves.

    Part of the cause to be fair was all of the pro college degree propaganda thrown around a few decades ago where it was basically being thrown out all over the place that by just having a degree you would instantly make X amount more money. This resulted in people having the view of "Ok lets get this 2nd piece of paper to instantly have more money"

    Another part is the colleges themselves being more interested their revenue stream than actually educating the people they collected money from.

    I haven't done a lot of extensive research into this, but based off just a scrapping of information I am privy to there is a massive disconnect between what four-year college graduates are demanding in salaries opposed to the actual skill they bring to a workforce. One of the reasons for these post graduate high demands are the six-figure amounts of debt they owe as a result of their education, and that is due to the massive increase to tuition since the 1960's, which has easily tripled since then. There is a lot of indoctrination and propaganda that takes place in grade school fooling students into believing they need a college education to be successful, and while this may still be true for specialized career fields such as mechanical engineering, law, and medical, a ton of jobs out there requiring a bachelor degree level of education has been for the most completely false.

    Many employers have realized that it is far easier, cheaper, and more effective to give hands on training on the job to their new employees. The education system for the most part is a cash grabbing scam and is essentially legal extortion that takes advantage of impressionable minds, but this is just my opinion.
