Is there such a thing as "overqualified"? - Ask Lemmy - Fedia

Or is it just a term made up to find an easier reason to reject job applicants?

Sure. More qualifications means more pay will be expected. And if all that needs done is The Thing for $, no reason to pay $$$ for The Thing+++.

Holy shit!!! I just discovered the biggest conspiracy theory of all time!!! JFK WASN’T EVEN KILLED AT ALL!!!

“When we do jobs, we get money for our qualifications! And we get our money based on this, that, and the other thing!”
