Agree w/ @bryan_caplan's argument that college degrees are about signaling. Mainly disagree with employers caring about signaling conformity. Alternative: more likely hirer has a degree. Candidates w/ degrees are more relatable to hirer. Feel more predictable, lower risk, safe.https://twitter.com/Rspodcast/status/965441281198616576 …
Not sure the $ saved for an individual hiring manager would make a huge diff so risk might still outweigh. Even if CEO told massive company "hire non credentialed people we'll save money" I'm not sure it shifts incentives enough for manager hiring a few people a year.

Also, from perspective of software hiring, you only potentially save a lot if you are the first co to hire someone with no creds (recent dev bootcamp) who is actually skilled. After a few years of being good, salary gap closes. Finding those gems requires way more sifting.
