All a work history says for lots of jobs is that you followed dress code and showed up. It doesn’t mean you accomplished anything.

And it often says nothing about your ability to perform tasks unsupervised or willingness to delay graticifation. Someone working for 4+ years without payment to prepare for the future appears more forward-looking to lots of employers than the person who went to work straight out of high school.

Is it always fair? No. But all else being equal I’ll hire someone with a degree every time, so when I have limited time and 300 resumes with only 25 of them have degrees, guess which 275 I’m gonna instantly eliminate?
