What year is this comment from? Having an undergrad college degree has been a near worthless credential in tech for at least a decade.

It may surprise you to learn that there are other fields besides tech.
I hope the doctor I am seeing this morning has an undergrad+, same with my tax guy, and the guy that designed the bridge I am crossing and the road I am driving down.
Yes but we're on a tech form discussing specifically a person who dropped out of college to go into tech, a field that at the moment doesn't have any need for a college degree. They didn't remove themselves from the qualified labor pool by their choices.
