Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You can learn exactly the same things with accreditation or without it. Especially now that there are fewer standards of excellency. Are there any jobs for the many college graduates everywhere that still are being pumped out, with all of their degrees? I don't think there are.
You can, but accreditation aims to prove that you have.
My Son will graduate from College this May, was recruited to a company a year ago, and will start work in June. You will not be hired for his kind of work without a Degree either, at least not in the United States. The jobs are out there and many of the better ones require the Accreditation.
That might be true, but a lot of unaccredited institutions are that way because they're no good.
There are. Here's some anecdata: two of my kids went to college straight after high school. Both got jobs within a month of graduating and are still employed. One graduated with an arts degree.
The other kid started a small business, did great at that until Covid killed demand. He then apprenticed in a trade, made some decent money at that, and has now gone back to college to move up the food chain from his chosen trade. He's already got offers.
So I won't overgeneralize, but I can confidently say that it still works for some. And, when I graduated a very long time ago, it wasn't a cakewalk then, either. A degree was never a guarantee of a job. That was a myth. I got my degree at the start of a recession and classmates of mine who were smart, hardworking people, struggled for months or years. I lucked my way into a job because I discovered that an interviewer was the cousin of my college advisor. They talked, and I ended up learning some very interesting tech and doing world travel.
