Some folks say that there is a bubble in college education. That having more people going to college leads to more demand for college training from employers, but little actual gain in knowledge. The thing is, employers don't want to hire people without college training since it provides at least some evidence that their hires have something between their ears.
Now let's do some futuristic extrapolation of how the college bubble could burst.
1. Reliable services could exist that evaluated potential employees on the basis of the material that has been posted by and about them on the internet.
2. More contests, not related to college, could spring up. If this were the case you might look to hire members of the top ranking pre-accounting team in the state, rather than folks with a degree in accountancy from certain schools.
3. Large employers could offer there own training programs and move the people who do well in these up the ladder.
I'm not sure which of any of these ideas would work in real life but all of them might make fun background material in a science fiction story.
