To be fair I feel like college is way less about teaching you anything specific and way more about teaching you critical thinking and abstract conceptualization.
That’s because conservatives want to replace universities with vocational schools. Nothing wrong with those schools, but its just another face of their culture war politics making their way to everyday discussions.

It’s showing that you can complete a multi-staged project that required years of effort and investment without any immediate return on investment.
Even if you don’t learn anything in college, the sheer process of going through the motions and getting the degree demonstrates skills that are useful in an employee.

Skills that can be shown from working at an entry level job. Or through several other methods.
That’s not a good reason to require someone to pay tens of thousands of dollars for the opportunity to even apply for a job.
