182. Rojda: “It is not fair that even very basic jobs now often require a college degree. Jobs such as filing papers or answering phones are really quite simple, and it is absurd that employers insist on applicants attending college in order to apply for those jobs.”

Miguel: “But the job market is so tight now that employers will have their choice of applicants, so they can choose whichever requirements they like and still be able to find applicants for the position.”

All of the following would strengthen Rojda's position EXCEPT:
  1. Many applicants lacking a college degree have experience better suited for these positions and actually make more appropriate candidates.
  2. Many qualified candidates do not apply to jobs requiring a college degree, even if they have one, because they believe the job is above their skill set.
  3. Requiring a college degree means that older people are less likely to apply for positions as they have a lower rate of finishing college than do younger workers, even though older workers often perform better due to their experience.
  4. Many basic jobs advertising that applicants must have a college degree struggle to find enough applicants for the position.
  5. Asking whether a person has a college degree is an easy way for an employer to tell whether an applicant is serious about his or her future.
