job listing: bachelor's degree required. pay: $15/hr. duties: cleaning holiday cabins.

I'm not making this up. They want four years of tertiary education to change bedsheets and scrub toilets in a vacation rental. The listing said 'strong communication skills and academic background preferred.' For a mop.

I have a master's degree and make less than that. the system is not malfunctioning. it's working as designed.

'bachelor's preferred' on a job that paid £11/hr nearly made me quit job hunting entirely

the actual skill required is 'show up on time and be thorough.' no degree covers that.

posted a job recently and HR added degree required without asking me. I removed it. they put it back.

the degree requirement is a filter, not a qualification. they're filtering for desperation.
