Same here, in the industry that I am in. The problem is that without a degree, you can't get a professional designation and without that, we can't have the person sign off or stamp a report. If they forged it somehow and it was found out, it could really hurt the reputation of the company. In all honesty though, I know many techs whose actual field skills are better than people with degrees (even if their core understanding of the science is limited).
