With the cost of higher education gotting out of control, this is changing. Many companies like Google and Accenture have started programs where they are training people themselves and putting them on the same track as people with undergrad degrees. Those programs are great for people who don't want to (or have the means to) do a four year degree. However, I feel that OP's kid wants to go to college and should be allowed to go.

Google, Orgacle, MS, Amazon, etc. have had traning courses on its products for certificates for a long time.
Nothing really new.

In the distant futrue, these tech giants might establish its own colleges, but now is important for us, so in the mean time, get your degree.

I'm not clear what you're saying. The programs I'm referring to result in jobs with the companies. You seem to be only taking about training and certificates with no job.

NP Yes, and as other posters have already said, what happens when the company trained person wants to work elsewhere? That lack of degree puts a low ceiling on what they can apply for. Modern day company slavery cause they are stuck.
