I do think so, with all the means we have at our disposal in this modern time. That, however, makes little difference when a possible future employer won't even invite you over for an interview, because your resume does not list a fitting college education.
It feels quite unfair, because you, yourself know very well what skills and knowledge you possess. But just having that piece of paper makes it so much easier to get the interviews you want, in which you can then show them why they need you.
It all depends on what kind of job you want, ofcourse. But most jobs require a fitting education and proof of said education.
I hope once people will be accepted/evaluated based on real skills and knowledge. What does piece of paper change some collages are basically pay 80k for piece of paper.

That would be nice. I can understand it though, because that piece of paper is the only guarantee they have that you possess the skills and smarts they need.
It's easy enough to lie on your resume and sadly, there's enough people doing so. This means it's a big risk for employers if they go by skills and knowledge alone. It would need time to find out if the new employee really possesses them, and as the saying goes, time is money.
