Dan Colflesh spent nine years earning an associate degree in physics and a bachelor's in political science, only to find his degrees didn't help him get hired and left him with student debt. Major companies like Walmart, Accenture, and IBM are removing degree requirements from job postings, signaling that college credentials matter less than they used to.
My bachelor's degree is worthless. Dan Colflesh quit his job in the customer service industry, age 34, to pursue a degree in the hopes of bettering his employment prospects. The now 43-year-old has declared his degree worthless after spending years following graduation struggling to land a job and saddled with student debt. In 2021, Coleflesh graduated with an associate physics degree from community college and a bachelor's in political science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His story comes amid speculation that college degree is losing its value as Walmart, Accenture, and IBM all axed degree requirements on their corporate job descriptions. Well, you see that? There is good news on occasion. I'm sorry for this guy, that, that's not the good news. The good news is that it is less and less required.
