Then we need to change laws at the state and federal level that require college degrees to enter certain professions.

At one time one could sit for the CPA exam after having worked for so many years in an accounting firm Not any more, most if not all states require at least a four year degree and in some cases a fifth year to sit for the exam.

My mom worked for the IRS for over 30 years and became an enrolled agent after she required. She knew more about income taxes then most recent accounting graduates. She only finished high school.

I have an AS degree in electronic technology which has suited me well for the last 20+ years. Now, they want BS or even Masters degrees for what I do. College is so watered down. But even some of our home-schooling crew sends their kids for liberal arts degrees. 😕

Bingo when schools were schools not CRT training centers and tests demanded learning not oh that’s good enough.

There used to be IBM school and BANK school and INSURANCE school where companies sent likely candidates.

They were very successful

Most of that happened before Griggs vs. Duke Power Co.
