      Its not a matter of whether or not to hire, in my opinion. It’s just a known issue that education got screwed during covid. The students have been performing worse and its led to less educated/adapted adults graduating from high school and college.

      If you don’t acknowledge there is an issue, then you can’t do anything to help it.

        A lot of that is jobs requiring a BS for no reason and not even using the skills it teaches, and those jobs complaining that colleges don’t teach enough Java or some other shitty industry tool or whatever in their theoretical computer science programs and colleges lowering standards to make themselves more marketable with higher graduation rates. And now they have software engineering degrees which is probably more relevant for a lot of software engineering jobs but they still expect CS.
