And. . . Over on the United thread, someone said currently 96 - 98% of their new hires this year have a 4 year college degree.

As some have said, “So you mean there is a chance to get hired without one.” Yeah, don’t hold your breath.

As some have said, “Maybe it will change in the future.” Yeah, don’t hold your breath.

If you want to get to the majors, go get your 4 year degree. Whatever it takes. Otherwise you may (likely will) get stuck where you really didn’t want to retire from.

If a black swan event should ever happen, you can’t get a medical, etc. you have something to fall back on.
