TBH, I have never really looked at the education section on a résumé when hiring unless the person is an existing graduate.

After a few years of work experience, all that really matters is the last 3-5 years.

You could pretty much omit everything before that, because just the last 3-5 years is usually enough to figure out the caliber of work a candidate may have been doing before that.

If all résumés only included the last 3-5 years of an employees life whether or not that includes their education, would it really be worth that much less as a factor using in the decision to interview or hire?
