What an insane post on so many levels lmao
I have in the past. Didn’t seem to be an issue.
Depending on the job function and the person. My very first boss didn't have a college degree. Overall, he was a competent manager, supervising two to three dozen subordinates, most of whom had far more education than he did, including two senior engineers with Professional Engineer (PE) and Structural Engineer (SE) licenses. The person with PE lacked emotional intelligence and annoyed just about everyone on the team, while the person with SE didn't know how to train or divert his work and was always buried under rolls of blueprints. The Manager without a college degree was respected by most of the team. He kept diplomacy and resolved issues between passive-aggressive subordinates. He kept tabs on all project schedules and kept the house in order. Had the PE been the manager, he would just yell and scream at his coworkers if there was a single hiccup in a project. Likewise, we would have missed at least half of the project deadlines had the SE been in charge of the team.
The one manager I had that did not have a college degree was actually one of the best managers I had. She was very intelligent and had superb people skills. Thanks to her mentorship, I am a Manager and getting propped up for another promotion
Consider that they had to be outstanding, not just check the degree box.
So the degree makes you better at their job than they are? Experience trumps everything
