See my other comment - is it a good idea to force them to get a degree? Doesn't it make the degree worthless? Instead of signalling "this person was able to learn something important" it says "this person has been forced to spend X years in a place where he was bored to death". (I think there was an Army joke saying something like "private X is able to work when cornered and closely supervised", or something like that.)
