Eight in 10 employers want employees with college degrees -- yet most would be satisfied with specific skills, experience or training. Because 81% of hiring managers have degrees?

I think more because that 81% of the managers think than having a degree is the same as knowing what was teached in the degree...
but many degrees have actually little to do with the real world, so...
Hey, many managers (and most politicians) have lost contact with the reality. Here it is...

Because it's always been done that way and because they're too lazy to independently assess candidates' skills other than to ask dumb-ass questions during interviews.

Because the self taught expert balsk when developing a Proportional-Integral control algorithm with a BEMF observer to manage the PWM signals for the 6 MOSFETs of a three-phase system.
Because the self taught "coder" won't implement a frequency-based image analysis alogrithm capable of running in less than 10ms on a Pentium 4 to detect foreing objects in x-rayed containers traveling at 3 m/s on a conveyor line.
Because the bright geniusses that only coded on their own won't give a flying ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) about computational complexity, known operational research approches, advanced trigonometry, signal electronics, error estimation and transients.
Such developers can easily get to work in the overcrowded and overmarketed world of the thousand Javascript frameworks, but no more than that.

I doubt it's the hiring managers. It's HR that requires these degrees. The reason is an idiotic US Supreme Court decision back in the early 70s that basically forced companies to find criteria other than skill sets for job offerings on the basis that this was the same as racial profiling and discrimination. The result was that companies pushed this determination onto the American higher education system. So instead of companies being hit with racial discrimination lawsuits our colleges and universities now get hit with them.

It's over now and it's not coming back.

As an American tax payer, you are welcome. The industry don't need money - you can bet it's pork and directed in certain ways to certain individuals. What the industry needs is regulatory reform. Go research Global Foundries Inc that is starting one of a few fabrication facilities. Upstate New York. They've been held up for quite some time by people brought in to protest the environmental impact. Meanwhile, lot's of people would like to start working there.
Same thing needs to happen for pharmaceuticals, but that's a rabbit trail.

Maybe we're at a point where most PCs sold are just too damn good (performance and quality) and don't need upgrading that often (for 99% of the people) ?
(side note) I read something about the guitar maker Gibson going bankrupt because they just made good guitars that lasted too long and people just stopped buying new ones.

That's an interesting (and plausible) theory.
I built a desktop with AMD Ryzen 5 & 16GB RAM in 2019 and it is still blazing away.
it could also be that many processes take advantage of GPUs too so it takes less CPU processing power thus machines last a bit longer.
And then also, even as terrible as software is, there's not much more to do to make the software eat resources that hasn't already been done. Unless you are cryptomining on your desktop or something.

That's not the only reason Gibson had problems. I think the main reason is nearly all of their instruments are just too expensive compared to their competition. That's what happens when you use almost entirely manual processes with American workers. Their competition uses lots of automation in Asian factories so their costs are much lower. They can get away with that because their quality is not far behind Gibson's, if at all.
As an example, my first major purchase when I got out of Engineering school was a custom made (in the USA) bass that was really, really nice. It was my primary instrument for almost thirty years. Then I decided it was just too heavy and I ended buying four other basses that are much lighter and were made in Asia and Mexico. The total cost of the four newer ones is less than the custom one's price was forty years ago. The new ones don't sound as good as the old one but they're good enough and they are much, much lighter. That makes a really big difference after four hours of playing.

I'm curious if the only people who notice the difference are bassists.
