That is very true. However (at least from what I was always taught) the reason employers "require" ANY degree is less about *what* you learn and more about showing them that you have *ability* and *commitment* necessary TO learn. An employer isn't generally interested in what you know; they're always going to teach you their way of doing things anyway. Employers want to know that you have the focus to actually learn their systems. So the end result of "fast degrees" will be the opposite of what job hunters think. It'll just devalue degrees in the eyes of employers because it no longer signifies the very metric they were measuring, which was the *ability to pay attention*
