Nowadays, with everyone being more connected, and it being easier than ever to showcase your "talent". Why is a college degree still needed? It did make sense before the internet because then you couldn't really prove to someone that you were good at something other than being extremely exceptional. The employer needed some sort of proof that you could actually commit to something long term.

Now with youtube. You could actually show someone your work ethic in so many different ways. Like if you spent all the time you'd use going through the bureaucracy, all that energy directed to self knowledge would probably be way more than what you could get out of university.

Do you see where im going with on this question? It's like if you couldn't make it without a degree, why would you make it with one?

One flaw in this thinking is that certain professions require licensing. Like obviously no one wants a self taught surgeon. But a simple lawyer or math researcher, i dont really see it.
Like someone theorizing on a blackboard is really that dangerous? I dont think so.
