Most jobs that now require a degree don't actually require a degree.

They now want a 4 year college degree to be a receptionist.

You answer a phone, say, "one moment let me connect you" or "please hold" and they think you need a 4 year degree.

Employers use degrees as a way of filtering job applicants, not because the job actually requires it.

It’s called “credential creep” and is an international phenomenon.
