minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•10 days agoIf it ever becomes forced, colleges and employers are going to expect to see scores. Absence of ASVAB results will be conspicuous.
minus-squarecapitallink1•10 days agoI didn’t submit SAT (or equivalents) and still got accepted into several different colleges. I never finished because I’m a shit student but I’m also making over 240k with no degree. So, even now colleges and employers don’t care. Maybe higher tier colleges but I was never getting into those anyway.

minus-squarecapitallink1•edit-29 days agoNo one asked to see my state standardized test scores either and those were mandatory to take. This is a bit of a slippery slope fallacy, I think. To be clear, I don’t think anyone should be forced to take the ASVAB.
