>There's also an argument about universities being useful for society, as they create well-rounded citizens. That argument may have some validity, but it's unclear why that was put in as a prerequisite for having a generic corporate job. And really opens the question of why this should not be part of education every citizen gets? Surely what 10 to 12 years should be enough time to get everyone capable to this point. It is pretty sure that degrees simply were filters. At least outside some degrees where there was job specific knowledge that saved lot on training that could potentially fail. I actually wonder with AI and LLMs and such will we soon see every application contain some type of generated test that applicant will have to fill when sending job application. Just so they can filter people and possibly even ignore oversaturated degrees in process.
