I so totally agree with not requiring college credentialling. And though I write code for a living, I respect the work of my auto mechanic father-in-law and any custodian more than much white-collar stuff that doesn’t add visible value. You ask me what I do for work, I say what I do doesn’t count as work. Socially, the snobbery of the keyboard-and-phone class towards people who actually work really grates. But forbidding unnecessary credentials by law? Hard to see. I think it’s more an issue of devaluation of a degree and the lowered standards of earlier education. More, not completely.
