My dad worked for a finance company owned by Barclays and did the recruiting for his branch.

He had a simple rule......he wouldn’t employ University Graduates.

He did his recruiting from the likes of shop sales staff and car salesman because they’d come through the “university of life” as he used to say.

Back in the 70’s and 80’s he said that grads were “chinless wonders” all full of brains but no common sense.

I follow the same rule at my place and although not perfect I prefer people who are not super educated.

The couple of brain boxes I did take on had to be let go because they were both lazy and full of stupid ideas........wanting to rearrange deckchairs whist the Titanic was sinking types.
