Here’s an interesting article in which the writer notes that, with exceptions for former members of the military, Enterprise Rent-a-Car requires that applicants for the job of handling the rental transaction with customers have a college degree. It isn’t work that calls for any academic skills. The writer avers that the skills involved, communicating with customers and multitasking, are now “found almost soley among those with 2 and 4 year degrees.” To that, I say “baloney.” There are many high-school students (and graduates) who can communicate quite well and handle multitasking all the time. If you don’t already have such capabilities, college courses are not likely to create them.
