| than a requisite for entry While this is very common, there is no rational basis for it these days. There is nothing about that degree that makes you more or less suited for management than experience and mentorship within the firm. Companies who place this type of ceiling are simply copping out of their responsibility to have a sound mentorship, knowledge transfer, and leadership development program in place. It doesn't have to be elaborate, but it does need to exist. They would rather say "must have an MBA" or whatever because that is the easy way out. Again these are relics of a bygone era when a college degree actually meant you possessed a level of VALUABLE knowledge that rightfully separated you from others. Today it means you spent 2-3 years taking classes like African Diaspora, Western European civilization, Intro to Biology, English literature, and then maybe 10-12 classes that TOUCHED on your actual field of interest related to the employer....if at all. It is a well-known/published fact that the vast majority of college grads work in fields entirely unrelated to their degrees.
