Quick Hits are 10-minute conversations designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to hear other people‘s thoughts on a variety of subjects. In February of 2021 I and the members of my mastermind group thought other people might enjoy listening in on some of the lively conversations we were having. But we realized that no one was going spend 90-minutes listening to us going on about anything and sometimes nothing. Instead, we decided to pick one topic and have a short conversation to share. I took the reigns because facilitating those types of conversations sounded like fun. Over the course of a few months it grew from just members of our mastermind group to four (sometimes three if schedules go sideways) people from various parts of the world and from ”short” to exactly 10-minutes. Thus was born ”Quick Hits” hosted by me, Dr Robyn. I hope to get caught up with posting them here on PodBean at some point. As of this writing, I have over 100 ”episodes.” If you‘d like to see the videos of these conversations, they are available on my YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/DrRobynQuickHits If you have a topic you‘d like to hear discussed, I encouraged you to use the contact page of my website: https://drrobynodegaard.com/ to let me know.

When I suggested this topic, I thought I might be the odd one in that I think if a job is “entry level” it should mean that you can come in willing to work and they will teach you everything you need to know from the ground up.
But Atif Agha and Domenico Ciarallo agreed with me – to a point.
We talked a little bit about people not wanting to work (is that a thing?) and that in professional jobs like engineering or the medical field they have to require college and experience even at the very entry positions.
Atif pointed out that in his field of IT experience counts for more than degrees do.
I have certainly seen some job postings that are ridiculous. Things like requiring a Masters degree for a $14/hour job.
As I mentioned during the conversation, I have a unique perspective because I worked a white collar job for 14 years with only a high school diploma before I ever went to college.
What do you think? Should “entry level” mean we will train you or is it okay to demand experience and/or a college degree for an entry level job?
