Or the other way around. I think the economic downturn is giving employers the ability to be more selective in who they hire. Jobs that traditionally didn't require a 4-year degree now do just because candidates with degrees are applying for those jobs where 20 years ago they wouldn't have. People are also finding out that the degree they earned 10 years ago isn't necessarily working out for them in the current economy and are "cross-training" into a different field (like me!). I'm actually back in school myself as a non traditional going the online and satellite campus route.
