I was having a conversation with a Christian university professor on the weekend, and he was explaining how woke his university had gone. Not just with DEI administrative staff, but oversight from Title IX government workers, too. So, I suggested that young Christians should focus on STEM degrees. But he warned that the woke administrators were coming for them, too. So what next?

Well, I always recommended doing STEM degrees for as cheap as you can, for this reason:

Well, after defending the STEM fields to young Christians for so long, there might be a good alternative, and that’s just hitting the private sector workplace after college, and moving up the job hierarchy by giving the company more and more value.

Here’s a Fox News story that explains.

American businesses are increasingly eliminating college degrees as part of their requirements for corporate roles, which is part of a wider trend in the U.S. job market that is de-emphasizing the value of a four-year diploma, according to experts.

American companies like Walmart, IBM, Accenture, Bank of America and Google have announced plans to reduce the number of jobs that require college degrees.

[…]Walmart, for example, has eliminated college degrees as a requirement for hundreds of its corporate roles, vowing to remove “unnecessary barriers” that prevent career advancement. The company also announced it would waive the university degree as a necessity if candidates can show they have gained the necessary skills based on different, prior experience.

Between 2017 and 2019, 46% of “middle-skill occupations” and 31%  of “high-skill occupations” saw a drop in college degree requirements which “could have major implications for how employers find talent and open up opportunities for the two-thirds of Americans without a college education,” according to a report from the Burning Glass Institute. In line with the trend, the report projected the move could open up 1.4 million jobs for American workers without college degrees over the next five years.

Government jobs too:

At the governmental level, states across the country have removed degree requirements for government jobs, according to the Brookings Institution. Virginia became the 13th state to remove such requirements in June.

What does this mean?

Well, one of my happiest days was learning that Toys ‘R Us was going bankrupt. Why? Because they were HUGE advocates for abortion.  They were also big leftists who opposed the normal path that people take to marriage and having kids. You might think that they would be smart enough to not murder future generations of customers, but they were not.

Similarly, the public education system and the higher education system is filled with stupid secular leftists. Rather than encourage young people to have a worldview that rationally grounds marriage and raising children, they decided to promote recreational premarital sex, abortion, delaying marriage, punitive divorce courts, and a host of other birth rate killers. That was step one in destroying their flow of customers.

As if that all wasn’t enough, now that they have focused entirely on woke indoctrination, even the students that manage to reach the campus are being saddled with tens of thousands of dollars of debt for a useless, worthless indoctrination in wokeness. All these poor students learn is how to be offended, and how to demand that others fix their offendedness. That makes them a whole lot of trouble to corporations. They lack skills. They are bad at serving customers. And they are disruptive.

This news story is good news. The less money that universities have, the more they have to fire their worthless administrative staff. Let’s see it happen.
