“Universities are not ‘for learning’, but a place to have fun,” Tesla CEO Elon Musk told a conference. The richest man in the world believes that one can learn everything online and for freewhile reminding that billionaire tycoons like Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Oracle’s Larry Ellison dropped out of college in the middle.
In fact, Musk puts into practice what he proclaims as well a university degree is not required to be hired at Tesla.
In fact, the automotive industry is just one of the many companies that have stopped rejecting the resumes of those with no university education.
In 2019, its CEO AppleTim Cook had said that many of the company’s new hires do not have a higher education degreeexplaining that universities do not teach skills that managers need most in their workforce, such as coding.
But also the CEO of Siemens USABarbara Humpton has rejected the idea that anyone with a university degree is ready to pursue a career. «Too often, job advertisements say that a degree from a 4-year university is required, when in fact, there is nothing in this job that requires such a degree. It just helps recruiters ‘scrap’ applications and have a smaller group of candidates“, He had said in 2019.
Now, big companies like the Google and Apple hire employees who have the skills for the positions, even without a degree. According to Glassdoor, companies such as Google, Apple and IBM do not require a degree.
Of course, if one has a degree, chances are that will be better paid. In the US, data show that those with higher education earn an average of $ 502 more per week than those who have just finished high school.
