I’ve wondered this too. One theory I have is that in the UK doing an undergraduate degree is a humanities subject has much higher social status than the US. This leads more of the “top” high school students to do these degrees. When they graduate they obviously need a job and recruiting works week due to needing good language and soft skills. Maybe a bs theory though :)
- dukeyukey 2y ago> in the UK doing an undergraduate degree is a humanities subject has much higher social status than the US I'm not really sure there's much of a difference between any subjects in the UK. Like, maybe stuff like Physics is seen as better? There's a big thing against "Micky Mouse degrees", that aren't seeing as leading to a job. Recruiters themselves are seen as one step above estate agents, which is _not_ a high status.
- denton-scratch 2y agoI have a pretty low opinion of estate agents; but my opinion of recruiters is much lower. I'd put them in a class alongside - I dunno, politicians, maybe.
- ben_w 2y agoNah, even recruiters who mix up Java and JavaScript aren't as bad as politicians :P
