> so they can do things that matter to them

They can do what matters to them without cheating the system and getting rewarded a degree for it.




However the capitalist system is one in which you should be rewarded for outsourcing something you cannot do or cannot do inexpensively yourself. Organization and correct market theories are what's rewarded* in capitalism. Especially in business schools we should be focused on making people who have those skills and rewarding them for successfully doing it. IMO the real distortion is in overvaluing those who have a degree, many of which only proves they can show up on time, consistently, and do as their told.

* (amongst other negative forms like rent seeking etc I'm talking about the positive case here)
