For as long as we can all remember, needing the “right” degree was the norm for most white-collar jobs. I got a journalism degree to become a journalist… because that’s just how it was. But now, skills-based hiring is on the rise. 📈 According to new data, 30% of paid LinkedIn job postings no longer require a professional degree.
