Good idea….if they can actually create standards that candidates must meet to insure tax dollars aren't wasted on incompetent fast talking dolts. A degree used to be a reasonably good indicator of intelligence and competence. Not anymore. But there MUST be standards of some kind.

Dan–It might be going back to on-the-job training with set criteria for success.Brian–Perhaps, but it could also be opening up opportunities for people with a boatload of experience but no degree. A friend of mine has been in environmental safety for decades and is good at what he does, but he doesn't have a bachelors so a lot of doors are closed for him.
