Why do you care what someone chooses to get a degree in?
It doesn't affect you in any way. I hire people with a degree over people who don't have one because, at a minimum, it shows that they can complete something on their own.
I also like liberal arts degrees because it brings me a well-rounded employee.
Yes as a society we view having a degree is better then not having one but why waste all that money just to get a liberal arts, general education, or other basic degree? I could care less who gets a degree in what subject my point is a majority of those subjects can be learned on the job and you are taught from a very young age that having an education is important.
The reason why I brought it back to academics was because independent and academic research consistently shows the correlation between credit and quality of employee; yet you completely dismiss it.
Just because there is a correlation doesn't mean I have to agree with it. The needs for a majority of degrees is a waste of money and time.
I do not know if what the employers do is legal but I do know that almost all larger employers do credit checks, criminal checks, blood check, etc. And yes you will not get the job if you refuse or if there is a negative return.

I'm pretty sure that it has to be something REALLY negative in order to not get the job.
- Illegal drugs in the system
- Theft
- Failure to comply with legal process
- Collections
I doubt that missed payments, traffic violations or high debt are going to be a problem.
Now your making racial and untrue comments. Just because someone is black does not mean they will have low credit scores. Also income does not relate to low score. I have run too many credit checks in my business to believe that to be true.
Don't kid yourself. There is always a way around the law to get the needing info to weed out bad people. I know of a cell phone store that tells applicants up front they prefer to hire current customers of the cell phone company they represent. Try and get a cell phone contract without a credit check. He does that to save him money. He does not state you must be a customer but I happen to know he never hires someone who is not. Actually he never hires anyone who did not start their contract through his dealership so he already has personal information on file about them. Although this is not promoted as part of his hiring decision.
I know a guy who (and I disagree with this practice) will not hire Hispanics. He does not ask their race but conducts face to face interviews and weeds out anyone he thinks is Hispanic. He does not tell them that's why he did not hire them. On paper he follows all the rules.
I have never hired a man or boy who came in with sagging pants. I also don't like visible tattoo's. I never hired anyone that appeared to have piercings anywhere but the ears and not even men who had those. I would never tell an applicant that was the reason but we are allowed to conduct interviews.
Until you can find a way to force a company to hire someone without any input or contact from the applicant they will find way's to obtain the info they choose.
The friend that doesn't hire Hispanics,well this is the perfect case for not abolishing AA

All in all,there are some inaccurate things on credit reports.
I have a collection from a CC company 8 years ago,that's still there. It was supposed to fall off last year,but it didn't.
Some collection agencies that I paid off still list things as derogatory,when I paid in full.(on 2 reports)
Between Equifax,Experian,And Transunion I have different scores,and you also have to take into account that agencies only have to report to ONE of the three.
No I don't. Why do you think blacks will have lower credit scores? How many credit check have you personally run? I have done thousands. Your racist comment is not based in fact.
