Do you need a 4 year degree to take advantage of the top job openings in Cincinnati?

Let’s take a look at some interesting statistics on the job market as it stands right now.

Each year U.S. colleges award approximately 1.9 million bachelor degrees. In fact, nearly a third of the U.S. population holds a bachelor degree. Yet 7% of college graduates are unemployed and nearly 15% are underemployed. Despite a highly educated work force, employers difficulty finding candidates to fill open positions. Why, with a population of educated people who want and need to work, do tons of jobs go unfilled?

Where’s the disconnect?

Employers agree that if you have a college degree, even one in liberal arts, you have value. Your degree exhibits that have discipline, organizational skills, and the ability to perform critical thinking. But here’s the rub: today’s companies require even entry an level employee to arrive with experience in addition to a degree.

It’s the proverbial Catch 22. You need to skills to be hired and you need to be hired in order to gain skills. On the job training seems to be a thing in the past.

So, here you are. You worked hard for your degree, you have a mountain of student debt and no decent job prospects on the horizon. Not a great place to be. So, imagine this for a second: take your degree, hang it on the wall, and get down to the brass tacks of what it’s going to take to land a great job.
