I’m under the impression that that’s partially a sign of civilizational failure from metastasizing bureaucracies. I’ve always heard that the ultra-successful Silicon Valley companies never required a degree (and also that that meritocratic culture has eroded and been partially replaced by credentialism, causing stasis).
EDIT: to be clear, this means I disagree with the ridiculous hyperbole upthread of it being “cultish”, and in a lot of ways I’m sure the barriers to employment in traditional fields are higher. Still, as an outsider who’s missing lots of relevant info, it does seem like it should be possible to do a lot better.
