More than a dozen companies, including Google, Apple and IBM, are no longer requiring applicants to have college degrees, CNBC reports.
Why it matters: Many jobs have historically required employees to hold college degrees even if they are not relevant or needed. This is connected to an effort to improve diversity and make it easier for those that attend coding boot camps or pursue other non-traditional college paths to be hired.
===================================
It's a tough job market for there tech giants to recruit the necessary technical talent so that they can both support & grow their operations. If you can write & debug code, you're now practically a shoe-in at these companies.
This changing world scenario would make an interesting plot line for a sci-fi short story or novel. Where will we be in 50 or 100 years?
