Maybe the most actionable path is to try influencing employers. For example, Google doesn’t require college degrees for some jobs, but there’s still a difference between not requiring degrees (but still preferring candidates with degrees) and ignoring degrees. One phrase to watch for is “degree or equivalent work experience”. I’d be happier if Google’s hiring process officially ignored degrees, and the same for other tech companies. But I don’t know if anyone’s campaigning for that kind of thing.
