Yeah, and part of what I'm saying is, if credential is more important for a job that capability then it's inefficient additional overhead, unless credential actually proves capability such as with CS or engineering, or medical school for now. With the rise of free education these credentials will go the way of the dinosaur and these institutions that rely on it aren't going to last unless they adapt to the new landscape, which I don't see how they can. Research institutions maybe?
- HDThoreaun 3y agoThe point of the credential is to show that you're the type of person who can succeed in a tough environment. Whether doing well in undergrad actually shows that you can succeed in the face of adversity is up for debate, but that's the main point of the diploma for most majors and it's not clear to me how you would replace it. In fields that aren't based on hard knowledge credentialism is even more important as it's less clear what to test for in interviews.
