      I’m curious to know what your degree is in. I’m not disagreeing with you, but I think many young people are mislead into believing that just getting a degree will be a ticket to financial freedom, but what type of degree a person gets does matter

      Might depend on the degree. I got CS degree and have been getting interviews far more easily than before the degree.

        Plenty of people have CS degrees but are not having the same result as you. There’s likely other factors at play, it’s not just the degree

          That may be true I do live in a techie area in Colorado however I applied for similar jobs in the past without a degree with no contact back. Literally the only difference is the degree.

          My school did help me create a resume that seems to function better with the systems in place by employers to where hot words pop out better.
