Problem with that is, most people won’t hire you without a legit degree. We’ve been conditioned to believe that degrees, especially ivy league degrees, are a guarantee of intelligence.
I hear this frequently referred to as degree inflation. Do I really need a community college Associate's Degree to run a cash register at Walmart?
Probably when you consider the sad state of affairs at most High Schools today.
A good work ethic in today's youth is missing in a large majority of them. Mommy and Daddy either want them to have everything they never had or, are missing from a significant portion of their lives so they grow up to be people that many won't recognize as being from the same family.
My sister's kids are this way in many regards. Coming from a conservative farm family, they are now advocates of liberal policies and lean towards socialist thoughts.
