> I think one can do an engineering job as easily with or without a degree.

What is missing from that thought is: can everyone learn online what's required to do an engineering job? No.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the education system, but I don't think that promoting it as a scam is a good thing. Nor do I think that saying "anyone with internet can learn X to do Y" is fair - because while it's true anyone can, but the missing detail is that not everyone can.

My anecdote is that I enjoyed both systems - college and learning on my own, and I think they complement each other.
