gollark: If you could somehow make medicine/law available as undergraduate things that... might help?
gollark: The UK does those, I think, and seems to be doing fine lawyer and doctor-wise.
gollark: A convincing explanation I read of the everyone-has-to-go-to-college thing is that college degrees work as a signal to employers that you have some basic competence at listening independently, doing things for delayed gain later, sort of thing, more than providing any massively work-relevant skills, and it apparently got easier/more popular to get a degree over time, so the *lack* of one works as a signal that you *lack* those basic skills.
gollark: No idea.
