College Degree Needed? Yes. No. Maybe.
Obtaining proof of a higher education can be a mark that a candidate has practiced their writing, comprehension ability, and people-skills to an educational standard.
Before investing in college, students should consider the return on investment. Now a days, as long as the talent matches the position, a degree may not be needed to get into some companies. However, the ability to problem solve, which companies are looking for, may be easier to increase over the long term by developing the skills universities have students learn.
