That doesn't really solve the problem. In today's society a degree is required for many many careers/jobs. From an Officer in the Military to a Marketing Manager, a degree is required.
Can you succeed without a degree? Yes you can, although I would assert it would be much more difficult.
While not all fields have this luxury, a portfolio of completed projects, solid references, a live skill interview, and a strict probationary period would accomplish most of this. Computer science is a great example of a field where a lot of self taught individuals often are on par or better than their college educated peers.
Trade schools should be pushed more to close our essential skills gap.
An alternative to college could also be accelerated certificate programs. Want to be mechanical engineer, RN, accountant, etc? Two year program, tops, with all of the fat trimmed off. An engineer doesn't need intro to British Literature to learn why white people are the devil at UCLA.

Every Pede that can should start a business and make it a practice to hire people based off relevant skills and experience only, not a degree.
To add salt to the wound, purposefully refuse to hire people from woke universities like UCLA, Broke-ly, or Evergreen College.
How would people just entering the workforce be hired in that case? That's usually why people get degrees in order to get jobs.

Hopefully that answers your question.
