NY 986 I have been on the other side of the hiring table. If you have a lot of applicants your going to use things to sort through them. Your going to narrow the field down to 3-4 people and then LOOK really hard at them. The biggest sorting gauge is education level. It works both ways too. If the employer is looking for a general labor person they will turn away people with degree as they usually would be short term hires while looking for a better job. If they are wanting a person that can manage supplies and/or employees then they are going to throw out anyone without some type of business management degree. It is just a fact of life. Do they use their actual degree in their job?? Most of the time they do not.
Part of a higher education is the growth most good students gain while in college. They usually mature and learn how to adapt to changing goals. They need to learn to manage time. This carries over into work well. Most learn have to research for answers. Usually better reasoning skills. Life will also teach people these same things but it usually takes longer.
That is why you see jobs advertisements requiring a degree or so many years of experience in the field. I would say on average a college degree and 3-4 years of on the job experience are about equal. In this case the only advantage the degree would have is you may have broader outlook on things as you could easily have a wider range of personal experiences to draw on.
In smaller, owner ran, businesses a lack of a degree can be less of a hindrance but there are fewer small businesses that are higher wage employers. Experiences usually means more to smaller employers. They usually can not do in house training very easily.
Do not think I am saying everyone should have a degree. I am saying you will need job training of some sort to get a good job. That can easily be skilled trades such as plumbing, electrical or carpentry work. I would get training towards certification if it is available. Examples would be plumbers and Electricians usually are certified. Usually they have journeymen requirement before your certified. Truthfully carpentry can easily be a low paying job these days. The immigrant labor has keep the wages down for that trade.
The long and short is you have to learn skills that are marketable. If you do not your going to be making $10-15 an hours for a long time.
