The correct answer is the theory that the completion of college indicates to employers that a job applicant is intelligent and hardworking

According to the screening effect, we correlate someone's ability to have graduated from college with abilities such as working hard and being intelligent while in reality those two are not connected. There are numerous unintelligent people who graduate from colleges worldwide as well as those who are lazy and procrastinate all the time.
