There are a few countries that offer free post secondary. I like that. Trade or 2 year degree is free (or close to it). Anything beyond is on you. 

Overall I think the "you have to have a degree" mindset is a bad.

I'm with you on the trade and 2 year degrees.

But the "you have to have a degree" mindset is embedded in a larger, more serious problem--the view that education is just job training, and higher ed is just higher job training. From that starting point, the problem of job training, access to other and cheaper kinds looks like a solution. Education--i.e., liberal education--is not in the picture at all.

 I'm not for that version of higher ed.
