       If you view college diplomas as, effectively, work permits, and view yourself as entitled to the sort of work that a college degree enables you to pursue, then obviously that lowers your own expectations on how much work you should need to put in to get that degree. And if you are able to machinate a scenario to undermine academic rigor and are rewarded for it, then it undermines the value of college as a whole.

       But that probably works out for you because what you don’t actually want the college degree as a prerequisite to work. You just want the ability to work, and different means to prevent other sorts of people from being able to get those jobs. Your competence is a non-factor because you presume your own inherit competency and others inherit incompetence.

       Imagine wanting to be a psychologist, but not wanting to engage in, or interrogate the perspectives of others, or interact with any established literature on the topic of focus. This is apparently the crop of psychologists, and I guess all professionals, that are coming out of colleges in America.
