good luck getting a job in government without a college degree.
They just solved that problem.
You went from requiring a degree to not… again why is this even an argument.
They lowered the job requirements to EXPAND the candidate pool.
Then they made this decision based on nothing. Cool.
This changes isn’t targeted at Veterans. It’s targeted at ALL qualified candidates that lack a degree.
Removing the degree requirements meant the requirements were raised 
Goodness
how does one get experience in their field of choice without a college degree.
you need a college degree to be the manger at burger king.
Repeating a failed argument doesn’t help it, it’s simply redundancy.
Necessary skills can be learned without a college degree. That isn’t even arguable.
There is no evidence the Federal Gov’t was having problems finding qualified applicants.
The same number of jobs being posted to be filled will not change.
All this does is create a large qualified pool of people to select from for filling those positions.
By working in it, going to a trade/technical school, through apprenticeships, or through Military Service.

I didn’t say it only targeted veterans. The VPA did the same thing specifically for Veterans.
Small thinking.
which doesn’t apply to the vast majority of government work which is corporate.
I worked for the USG. You?

how were you hired without a college degree.
A degree is not a higher requirement.
Not an argument I am making… so continue
Then they made this decision based on nothing?
Again an argument that I am not making…
Exactly and why would the government want a wider pool of candidates?
Same if I was looking for a tradesman.
If I was looking for someone to sit at a computer and fill out spreadsheets not so much.
Vacuous, nonsensical gibberish.
Most gov’t jobs are just paper shuffling.
It requires 4+ years of additional schooling beyond HS.
It most definitely is a higher requirement.
Can you learn to fill out a spread sheet without a 4 year degree?
Only to academic snobs.
