The "college degree" is being de-valued.
First, by the colleges who confer them and then by employers based on experience with the conferees.
A college degree used to serve as an indicator of not only knowledge but also drive and determination. Not so any more.

“Companies are warier about hiring amid high interest rates and wages. Workers are vying with more job candidates for fewer openings, forcing them to send in more applications. And a large share of employees are jittery about getting laid off.”
I don’t see the word “college” in there.
Look at most of the examples offered.
