Does Caplan go into discrimination against people who don't have a degree? I've been in conversations that turned awkward when I revealed that I didn't attend college. The people who went to a 4-year university don't want to be told that their degree is less valuable than they think. They feel most comfortable around other people with similar backgrounds. So when they end up in a hiring role, they will value candidates with a degree higher than those without. Leading to a feedback loop with the observed outcome.
