"US Companies Embrace Skill-Based Hiring, Ditching College Degree Requirements"

American companies such as Walmart, IBM, Accenture, Bank of America, and Google are eliminating college degrees as a requirement for corporate roles, reflecting a wider trend in the job market that de-emphasizes the value of a four-year diploma. This shift is seen as promising by proponents who argue that the $1.6 trillion student debt has hindered many people's passions and dreams. The move could open up 1.4 million jobs for Americans without college degrees over the next five years. While certain professions still require appropriate degrees, employers are increasingly valuing real-world experience and skills over formal education. The rising cost of college education and the ability to verify skills through alternative means, such as coding portfolios, have contributed to this trend.
