the problem with "doing our own degrees" is that they will be blacklisted from accreditation and employers won't recognize them as "real degrees".

The problem outside of the liberal bias in college is the fluff they force you to take to pad out to at least 4 years when you should be able to get most Bachelor's in 2-2.5.

For instance CompSci - why do you need 2 consecutive semesters of lab science (so they can get those sweet lab fees), or 2 consecutive semesters foreign language (might come in handy depending where you end up working by by no means should be required for a degree) A bunch of electives that have nothing to do with your degree just to make you a "well rounded student". Phys Ed requirement - sure, workout be healthy but should not be only 1 or 2 credits and required to graduate. Even some really advanced math, maybe as an elective depending on exactly what kinds of jobs you see yourself doing but a lot of what falls under the Comp Sci umbrella you don't even need algebra let alone calc

Colleges should be more like Tech/Trade schools...give you just what you need in a degree program to get a job, not this "well rounded student" bullshit. You can do that at your leisure later. You shouldn't have to spend 4 years in college at minimum to get an entry-level degree. You ALWAYS do better learning on the job than in a classroom. Half the time your first employer stops caring about your degree the moment you're hired. Then its "forget what they told you in class, we di it different here"

No sure about it: Tesla, Google and others already recognized that college degrees are worthless.

So they hire people without degrees, but smart and know the current things.
