Why is everything a MUST to so many people? Why is there a drive to attempt to package each and every individual into a nicely labeled and sealed box that is ready to be a yes man/woman at whichever place they happen to get a job at. Where is the desire to achieve greater feats and set greater life goals, not purely educational/"piece of paper" ones? Why is it all directed at following this path given to us from on high as the only possible answer to achieving something in life? There are still a few places where common sense serves a purpose, and thankfully it allows me to be more than just an employee number who was selected out of a pile of 20,000 based on having the correct check marks and the right answer to an ink blot test.

Yes, it should read "STUDYING philosophy"...
And no I'm not suggesting, I know...
...my brother obtained one for the sole purpose to be eligible as a military pilot...And it worked.
Carry on.

This for a guy the U.S.A.F entrusted to command a crew hauling around nuclear weapons to go and potentially kill a few million people. The evaluation is extremely subjective and a waste of time.
The degree requirement is just a discriminator the HR people use to make the stack of applications smaller. It does nothing to ensure the caliber of applicant getting passed on to the next phase of evaluation. HR people are not dumb. They know that qualified applicants are being kicked out by the degree requirement. They just don't care because there are still plenty of applicants left afterwards to easily fulfill hiring requirements.

Wouldn't requiring a 4 year degree limit the applicant pool size, just like requiring an ATP? If you read the other threads on the ATP requirement, one of the main arguments is that it will drive up wages since it limits the applicant pool size. A 4 year degree will do that as well.
