Must read link¿

As someone who struggles to accept the notion that “higher education” always results in a smarter individual, I have for you today a very interesting link to an article pertaining to such a notion(http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/08/04/ernst-and-young-removes-degree-classification-entry-criteria_n_7932590.html?viksra). This article discusses how Ernst and young has decided to remove their degree classification entry criteria when considering hiring new recruits. Do not be fooled, this in no way insinuates that they will allow anybody to work for them, instead what this means is that they will be using other resources other than the typical GPA to determine whether a candidate is fit for employment. They will analyze the potential employee using online tests and will also use their past academic history in unison in order to determine as well. The message they are trying ot convey is that they do not believe academic history should be the sole qualification for obtaining a job with them, as well as academic history being a hindrance to job employment. The reason I decided to link this is that I believe it is not only very important as well as relevant to my blog, but I also believe other companies should move towards this method. It is sad to think that a determining factor in acquiring a job or just gauging general intelligence specifically comes down to GPA. I know a great deal of people who are incredibly smart, yet either struggled in school or decided to opt out of schooling at some point. The same goes for incredibly dumb people who have gone through years of schooling. The moral of this post is that knowledge comes from many other aspects in life other than school, and it is amazing to finally see a business adopting this train of though when considering new hires.
