You can't have everything.... And what would a degree be worth if everyone had one anyway?
Not just a degree, Nora! The facilities of different educational departments can carry instruments not available or budget-friendly to any individual. As such, my past high school has an executive deal with a chemicals industry that allows them to cheaply and quickly order more sodium, lithium, and what have You unseen by a middle or low income person.
And I hate to admit it but many employers (of any industry) determine your value to see how much or not of a time-waste You or I would be. When I searched for available occupations on the internet I kept seeing demands for the person to have some type of recognition of intellect/skill whether it be a degree in calculus, programming, physics, arts, IT, etc.
As much as I agree with You, jobs are much more cold to a person without some kind of educational merit.
That is not to say that these feats are impossible to those without merit, that is not true. Bill Gates did it without much educational merit.
