So your problem is with the paper?

So your problem is with the paper? Agree that the "system" is "broken", but I think describing college as just a "piece of paper" really over-simplifies the problem. Do we not need some way of certifying skill sets? And I'm unconvinced that what you would see would actually be a devaluing of high school diplomas. Potentially, we'd just view high school how we view elementary school now - something everyone assumes you do. Are we not trying to encourage everyone to do more and become more educated? In what way could we benefit/teach people that doesn't cost anything?
