This is also a silly solution. There is no shortage of people with college degrees. The only result will be lower wages.
I am speaking as a SWE who only recently received a degree late in life, purely to assist in my next job search, which I don't expect to be soon. I am not defending such accreditation nonsense.
I'm confused by your post since for one, I never suggested a solution.. but also your post seems to be calling the removal of accreditation silly, but also calling accreditation nonsense. So you seem to be conflicted?
