True. We've probably forgotten with the employment market having been strong for a long time, leaving employers desperate to accept anyone they can get, but back in the day degree holders were often rejected because of their degree too. "Overqualified", as employers liked to put it. In other words, "Your flashy 'car' doesn't impress me."

But either way, the takeaway is clear: If you are the worker, you don't want to get caught playing that game. You will lose in the end.
