Kroger interview questions

Process was confused me. I was asked over 5 times in the begining by 5 different people whether or not I had a college degree. My answer was yes and never changed...never. They then took the opportunity to remind me that you needed a college degree or had to have been a previous department manager in order to be considered for the position. Again folks...I have a college degree. I make it through the interview process and accept the job offer only to get into a training class with 23 other people. Of these 23 people, there were only 3 college degrees and 2 prior department managers. That should have been a sign...but unfortunately, I ignored it.
