We need to figure out college in the US. There's way too much dead weight meant to justify tuition in most programs. I'm sorry but I don't need to know how to write research papers to do half the fields taught in college. Dropping that dead weight would make college far more attainable for so many people.
If we can't stop businesses from requiring degrees, and we can't, then we need a hard look at what's in a degree.
Also, the government needs to back off requiring degrees for so much stuff too. For example they want a degree to tell people nearing retirement age what their options are and to do the paperwork. I'm sorry but that's not what college is about. Unless there's a technical need that cannot be fulfilled with certifications or practical tests, (code a coffee machine for me, and build the stack), it should not require a degree.
Going by job listings you'd think literally everyone other than construction, military, retail, food, and security, has a degree.
