A good many jobs requiring degrees really don’t.

You are correct.
When you interview people even for a grunt job, the degree person is more likely to be hired, the reasoning (even thought it maybe flawed) is that is shows the person can start and complete something.
When I was interviewing, I found it a ridiculous premiss. Although a person with AA, is a good bet, someone with a masters is not going to stay in a grunt job.

The best supervisors in my plant came from the ranks of the production workers.......

Once the corporation started hiring "college degreed" individuals for supervision, without an ounce of plant production experience, it went downhill from there......

A college degree may work in the corporate office, but on the plant floor, there is no substitute for actual experience......
