DiscriminationinEducation學歷歧視

According to the picture, an employer turns down a job applicant, for his degree is less advanced than the other applicants, even though he has a good resume. Actually, whats behind the cartoon is the tendency that employers focus on academic performance when hiring.

No one disputes that a college or higher degree opens doors. Despite that, as far as Im concerned, academic degree should not be the primary criteria in selecting talents. First of all, academic degrees only represent the applicants proficiency in their school work, and cannot demonstrate their personality or other abilities. For instance, the responsibility of a human resources manager is to deal with people, and thus it requires advanced people skill which is by no means shown in the diploma. Second, emphasis on degrees may stall the development of the company. They will lose real talents if they judge people only by their educational background, while it is often the case that college drop-outs like Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, etc., run wildly successful enterprises.

Therefore, instead of running after applicants with higher degrees, companies should become more concerned about what it takes to do the job and what a college education actually provides.

根據圖片，僱主拒絕求職者，因為他的學歷不比其他人高，即使他有一個好的簡歷。其實在漫畫中展示的東西是，僱主當僱用員工時專注於學業成績。

沒有人質疑大學或更高學歷能打開求職門。儘管如此，在我看來，學歷不應是選擇人才的首要標準。首先，學歷只能代表申請人在學業方面的能力，並不能證明他們的個性或其他能力。例如，一個人力資源經理的職責是與人打交道，因此需要擁有先進技巧的人，但是這個不是在學歷上可以證明的。第二，過於強調學歷可能停滯公司的發展。如果他們認為人只有通過他們的'教育背景來證明自己，他們就會失去真正的人才，而這是通常的情況下，大學輟學者，像比爾蓋茨，邁克爾戴爾，史蒂夫喬布斯等都非常成功的進行了創業。

因此，不是招聘高學歷的應聘者，公司應更加關注職位需要什麼人才和大學教育實際上提供了什麼。
