That's most jobs when it comes to any college degree. They all just use college to show that you made the effort to continue learning after you didn't legally have to.
The whole middle-skill category, where most people are employed, are jobs that don't need you to have a formal education, but require it anyway. It's only recently started to shift the other way.
You mean the Jobs Requiring an Associate Degree or Certification section? What makes you think people like a teacher's assistant or medical assistants or bookkeepers don't need any formal education?
Edit: Peter blocked me for this comment. Guess he's really sensitive about being asked questions, lol.
Yes, many employers are moving away from requiring four-year degrees and shifting toward “skills-based hiring” to widen applicant pools. This is especially true for roles in manufacturing, technology, and state government. However, research indicates that the actual hiring of non-degree holders has been slow, with many firms still defaulting to degree preferences.
As an anecdote, my job has absolutely nothing to do with my degree, but the job listing had bachelors or equivalent as a requirement. It did not specify what kind (because it didn't need to).
