I mean we can reform it without necessarily throwing out the baby with the bathwater. In Europe a bachelor's can often take 3 years, and maybe we can even shrink it down to 2 years; this is already kind of a thing in the US with some schools offering a 5 year bachelor+master's program.
Realistically maybe we reform community college to be the required thing instead of traditional undergrad, since the cost and length is more comparable.
- monknomo 2y agoassociate degrees exist
- bobthepanda 2y agothey exist, but at least employers do not seem to think they currently cover enough to accept them in lieu of a bachelor's. in fact i would say I don't know how much additional value an associates' holds in that context, and maybe we just merge the two concepts. I haven't ever really seen a posting that is okay with just an associate's.
