Unfortunately this is likely correct. The race to the bottom with credentialism will continue until we break the game. The answer isn't more credentials (free college, etc), but to make credentials worthless as a social signal. Educational backgrounds should be made a protected class, much like race or religion is. Then employers will have to rely on examinations or merit (see: Bar exam for attornies), rather than pedigrees. If you can't judge or ask about your college degree or lack, the job market becomes a vastly more level place.
