Something tells me we are due for a correction with field. If it's that easy and and the barrier to entry is that low we should quickly end up with a surplus and lower wages.....that or we will automate these things and/or offshore these jobs to $15 an hour locations. Then the good jobs will be with the harder things that do require math etc.. I personally think that the degree is valuable, but there are good graduates and bad ones....seems like raising the bar to graduate might be a better approach.

I think you may have missed the point. It's not easy at all to become a software engineer. It takes a lot of work. But the very fact that it isn't easy makes it all the worse when a company disregards more than half their pool of potential hires.
