The problem is that too many entry level office jobs require a degree. Any degree.
I always found this interesting, if any degree is sufficient, than the position you’re filling is not a specialized role and it could likely be performed by anyone with a basic intelligence and most importantly: drive to learn and succeed.

The degree isn’t the problem. The problem is there’s too many applicants for the office job.
No entry level office degree “requires” a degree. The reality is every applicant has one…which establishes the floor. Now an MA is necessary to standout for an interview.
…ironically, the applicant should never disclose a PhD, because that application will be immediately dismissed for fear of short term interest in the entry level position.

Its dumb.
Most jobs should require no more than two years post secondary. Specialized stuff like engineering, I get the longer curriculum.
Most degrees are just credentials, and little more. Credentialism replaced merit.
