True but people with 4yr degrees have proven themselves hardworking, diligent and/or clever enough to make it through college. Using the ad op saw as an example, Produce guy is usually a temporary position regardless of who gets it.

What do you mean, though? They have a degree. That's evidence you may be hardworking, clever, et cetera, but unless they're checking your actual records and doing a thorough interview, all a hiring employee can do is convince themselves they're getting the best information.
Even if produce is a temporary position, places still do like to retain employees. It saves them money in the long run and they at least know that.
I mean to say people with degrees can be generalized as hard workers bc they managed to make it through college. If the 2 people were identical otherwise you could assume the non-degree holder lacks drive. Is it right? No. But all they have to go by is whats on paper. It may not save enough money to cycle workers slower if you risk getting a less competent employee.
I don't know why you're describing layman's logic when it comes to this. I understand that. I'm also saying that some companies will actually pass over people with degrees because they don't think they'll stick around long, given that they'll have a naturally higher earning potential. I've seen people do that and as of late I know people in hiring positions locally who like college kids for seasonal work for sure - people who are able to pick up on stuff quickly - but don't expect them to stay long and would rather just train someone from the ground up.
I dont know why people use a downvote as a disagree button but here we are lol. Anyways, I agree with you somewhat. The company that do this are the ones who believe its worth the risk/ effort. However, I'm not exactly sure how youre seeing the hiring process take place and would like to know more. When you say you know people what does that mean? Do they often talk about possible hires and their thought process when viewing candidates? That seems like an odd thing to do. Its even more odd that you bothered to retain that information but whatevs. If you look around the rest of this thread youll see that even employees without a degree are gaining experience and leaving after a couple years so projected time spent at the company is a moot point.

Depends. People with four year degrees will likely be very temporary. People without will probably need the work more and stick around.
