The government should make it illegal to require degrees to apply IMHO. If an employer can’t create a sufficiently good screening process that would select those who would have degrees anyways, then maybe they aren’t necessary.

They also need to stop gate keeping. Jobs like being an attorney inherently require some certification, which is fair. Some governments in the USA made it illegal to take the bar exam and become an attorney without going to law school. Same thing with doctors and Step 1/2.

If someone can pass without going to school, good for them. Massachusetts in particular is in clear collusion with schools, requiring school teachers to have masters degrees in education.
