The strongest pillar of this argument "Degrees are a poor indicator of on-the-job success" is buried almost at the end of the piece. Most of the data the author provides refer to a lack of qualified job applicants rather than impact a degree has on being qualified. They do mention that specific in-demand skills aren't being taught in many places, but I think that misses the point (and alleged value on the part of employers) of a liberal arts education.
