I'd argue that the number of non degree holders that are capable of being good Software Engineers is very small.

Not to nitpick but most Ivy League schools have robust financial aid(families making less than 100K have no loans etc.) and the average debt load is <$40,000 which is very manageable with an Ivy League degree.

Can you name a single company that pays Remote Employees SF/Bay Area salaries?

Edit: Fair enough. There are companies that pay everyone SF level salaries but you can also find companies like Gitlab - 100% Remote but they explicitly downscale from SF salaries based on location.
