What do people think of Ernst & Young and PriceWaterHouseCoooper's in the UK considering doing away with College degrees and assessing people's raw skills before hiring them?

Personally I'm a fan of it without knowing much more and I hope we bring that to the U.S.

I've met too many a weak college grad with awesome grades when I worked there that were social nutjobs.

I'm happy about it.I have more accounting work experience than the average college student my age, but my gpa has always been somewhat of a weak link (3.1 GPA). I have always strived to work for the big 4, so knowing now they could care less about a degree I believe will only help my chances overall, especially if they bring that to the U.S.
