I was a professional hire with life experience and work experience in several fields when hired at bigcompany in the 1980s.

Within a few years the younger people that the company hired, who had BS or MS degrees with a concentration in bigcompany's field, started coming in. I started noticing that although these new hires had degrees in that specific skill area they were hired for, they lacked the ability to write grammatical sentences, proofread spelling, or properly organize their thoughts in writing.

When they tried to write documentation that customers would read, the results were just plain embarrassing. But these younger people did not recognize their errors, they were unwilling to accept helpful criticism to improve their work, and they did not realize they had deficiencies in proper use of the English language.

 

Their education was incomplete.

Their degree was essentially a fraud or a scam.

By now there are at least 2 generations exhibiting these traits.

 

We've got diploma-mills churning out "graduates" who are skill-deficient, but expect high starting salaries and instant promotions.

We've got a severe devaluation of educational credentials.

 

Sad.
