This is a good thing. Too many people are entering college and taking on enormous debt to get something which is less of an edge for getting a job. Worse, many get saddled with debt and don't finish for various reasons. Meanwhile tuition and books keep skyrocketing as schools divert more of their attention away from academics and toward more profitable uses of institutional time and capital. But in a bit of good news, more jobs are ditching the degree requirement as workers as more scarce. I am glad the pandemic has opened the eyes of employers to realize that a degree is not the indicator it once was. Opinion: the self-taught are just as capable in the workforce and college degree requirements are gatekeeping.
