Problem is, most BigCorp are like my employer. Do we have positions that do not require a degree? Sure, plenty of 'em, especially for field technicians. Will you ever be promoted? Receive a significant pay raise? Get new bennies? No. Will you be looked down upon by the office peeps? Will you be referred to as "low-rent" and "not suitable for promotion"? Will executives openly discuss replacing "obsoletes" with robots and software and automation in your hearing? Absolutely. I try to get my co-workers and superiors to take a different view, but it's a battle that's long been lost.
I believe that high schools teach the same material to the money rich and the money poor. Colleges should loan good students the necessary money and teach them well or they won't get their money back.
Not a bad idea. Needs to be some accountability on the college side.

The dirty little secret is the colleges don’t care if they “get their money back.” It wasn’t theirs in the fist place. To them, student loans are just another grant flowing into their pockets.
