There is an emerging trend in the process of organizational recruitment in today's world. This trend is prevalent in Africa. I don't know of other climes though. In most organizations here in Africa, all you need to be employed is just a bachelor's degree. It doesn't even matter if the degree is in a field relevant or related to the organization/ industry. It is a common occurrence to see fishery graduates work in banks and carry out core banking activities.
It seems professionalism is fast becoming an old order. I have lots of engineering graduates working in insurance companies. It is not as if their job description is engineering-related. They are doing this core insurance work. Is this trend the same everywhere across the world? Why is it happening that way? It discourages people from pursuing careers in professional courses. After all, they would come to struggle for employment opportunities with people who are not professionals in that area. Let me have your opinion on this.
