Topic Name: Rejected for being Overqualified
Message Name: Why hire idiots and leave quality on the shelf?
Date Posted: 05/21/2002
Message: I recently watched an amusing news story on network television, about a number of college students who are getting degrees in Astrology! The commentator went on to say that such people will be in demand in such areas as corporate communications, counseling, and education. My God! There are hundreds of thousands, and perhaps even millions, of engineers, MBA's, and other "overqualified" souls who are unemployed right now. What in the hell can corporate recruiters be thinking when they hire the underqualified? I read "Big Pinhead's" remarks below, and couldn't disagree more.
