4 years of life in the real world earning your keep and getting to work on time, doing your job, not getting too many tickets, managing social life without your job performance suffering, building work relationships and completing something you started is more than enough life CRM.
Spending 6 figures (soaking your parents or acting like its a government entitlement, either way) on a reading list that's available for free at any library/internet so you can take a break from reality, extend your childhood while pretending to be an adult while acting like a kid still on mommy's insurance til you're 26 is rock solid proof that you don't know jack about life CRM unless you're working your way through school and getting a degree that actually has a real ROI attatched to it (actual ROI too, not the fake "you make a million dollars more just because of college!") propaganda.
That said, I hope the requirement stands because it reduces the supply of competitive applicants. Which is exactly why it will be waived by management the instant we feel any degree of a pilot shortage at the major/legacy level.
