What do you mean? Are you being snarky, again? It is true that sometimes, depending upon the job you are looking at, you need to omit how much education you have. The same way people get insulted if you tell them they have too little education (or not enough skill), it is insulting to tell someone who has worked their butt off to get an education that they are "too educated" for a job in this economy.
I guess some people try to rationalize and say that the less educated person is more likely to stick around because they don't have many other places to go. The only issue with that is that some of those people who have no other place to go don't always have the work ethic many employers want. If they did, they would not have limited themselves on various levels. You don't need a college education to be hard working, but in this day and age, there really is no excuse for people in their 20's and below to not be considering college (in my eyes).
I hate to say it this way, and this is what I told my little brother:
An Associate's degree is now the equivalent of a High School Diploma,
A Bachelor's degree is now the equivalent of an Associate's degree,
A Master's is the equivalent of a Bachelor's degree...and so on...
I'm not downgrading anyone's education (because I have a Masters and I recognize that it seems many other people in my field do, as well), I'm just saying the way the job market is-everyone is going back to school.
