<p>Agreed, Steve, except that some of these young people CAN demonstrate tenacity. For example, 5 years of employment at the same place, stellar grades in high school, there are many ways to show that you are a reliable person that learns quickly other than a college degree. I agree that people should go get that degree.</p>
<p>I also believe that EMPLOYERS should not always be looking for the obvious answer. You might miss a diamond in the rough.</p>
