"what you can do with what you know" (T. Friedman)

[Joan in GE]

In his article How to Get a Job, Friedman mentions "home schooling"! And the changing labor market....

 

Here's the quote:

 

"And since jobs are evolving so quickly, with so many new tools, a bachelor’s degree is no longer considered an adequate proxy by employers for your ability to do a particular job — and, therefore, be hired. So, more employers are designing their own tests to measure applicants’ skills. And they increasingly don’t care how those skills were acquired: home schooling, an online university, a massive open online course, or Yale. They just want to know one thing: Can you add value?"
