One reason a college degree has become a necessary qualification for so many jobs is that the lawyers and the P.C. crowd have all but outlawed employers giving intelligence tests. If someone actually gets a college degree you can assume they have the intelligence to do most jobs.

A BA/BS degree became a "legal" wicket when IQ tests were banned by POTUS, and at first they were a good measure, but not anymore. Lotss and lots of dumb people get degrees, but they can't reason. An IQ test actually measure your ability to think, not just your ability to remember.
