    When the only thing that matters is the piece of paper people will skip the fluff.

    We can make it illegal for employers to discriminate based on education whenever we want to stop prioritizing degrees.

      I get where you’re coming from, but in certain fields I don’t think that’s going to fly too far.

      The guy selling me a sofa, I really don’t care if he has a bachelor’s degree or not. My doctor? Yeah, I kind of think he needs to have legitimately completed medical school.

        Cool, certifications are different than degrees.

        Part of the problem is we keep treating degrees like certifications.
