I’m not moving the goalposts. Your words were that employers have “complete autonomy”. That’s obviously not the case, and those are pretty large swaths of professions to pretend like they are edge cases. And FWIW, if you read up on engineer licensure, you’ll realize it isn’t just a small subset of engineers falling under the purview of the regulations but there are carve-outs for “industrial exemptions”. Most people don’t even realize they’re working under an exemption. But many states are bring these exemptions into questions due to high profile failures like Boeing etc. (and the exam is national, but the license is state).

We agree on most, I just think you tend to think on absolutes and I do not. I don’t think most current degree progressions need degrees, but I’m willing to recognize there is a large subset what do. And colleges still hold a monopoly on those degree. But the fact you can’t follow HN guidelines because you’re proved to argue makes further discussion boring and fruitless.
