17. In other words, they didn't want to hire your friend for some reason
Edited on Fri Oct-28-11 03:33 AM by Art_from_Ark
With 17 years of experience, they probably thought your friend would want "too much money" (a.k.a. a living wage). The college degree stuff is just bullshit made up on the spot. I ran into the same kind of shit all the time in the '80s. If they don't want you, they will make up just about any kind of sorry-ass excuse not to hire you, and there's not a thing you can do about it.

Incidentally, back in the '80s I applied for a job for which I had some vo-tech training, but was not hired because I "had a little college", so I "would probably want to go back and get that degree."
