Question

Do employers choose college grads over high school grads? and why?

Answer 1

more schooling shows a more determined person, with a higher educational back ground, but if your a hs grad and are able to speak multiple languages you have a better chance of getting a job of a college grad who can only speak english

Answer 2

It depends on the job. If the employer wants an employee who has less job opportunities available to them and would not expect to get a higher salary, then they would choose the high school graduate if only that level of education was necessary for the job.

If the job required a higher ability to reason and deeper knowledge in a particular area, then of course they'd want the college graduate and would realize they had to pay them more for those attributes.

Answer 3

Yes. A college degree shows the employer that you are capable of learning and that you have persevered through many obstacles in college and in life .  So the employer will believe that if you can handle college, then you are capable of handling and learning a new job or task that you must do for work.
