>>anyone who can fill a seat.

I wouldn't want my surgeon to be the last in their class and barely to have made it through their internship.

People need to do what they are best at and if that isn't academics - making them do academics is not only ineffective but denies them compensation. There are often perks to white collar jobs that don't include cash compensation like working from home - that saves transportation costs. Hourly overtime was good when I was nonexempt - which used to be rare for someone with a degree. Mine was in geophysics so I wasn't classified an "engineer" then, but a "technician". It took me a while before I made what my "peers" did with the same hours worked. But when double time kicked in - I was pretty flush. This changed "magically" when I got my computer science degree.
