With the general inaccessibility of college in the US (with AGI, they’re basically pay to play), would Chess or Go be a good qualifier for job mental acuity?
Both can be monitored on the spot and certified by third-party associations.

No, you are not better off being less educated.
But are college kids getting an education?
Yes, spending thousands of hours reading books does make you better educated than someone who didn’t.
Read my other comments.
They aren’t reading. They’re skimming and paying others to read.
People do the readings. Also, even if they didn’t, they’re still sitting in lectures and learning substantially more than people who don’t. Saying you learn the same amount as someone who put in years of work, when you have done nothing to learn, is just cope. The fact is, you don’t develop the skills without putting in the time.
And what do you think people who learn these games are doing?
Those are artificial rules and boundaries in a game Life and work often follows no rule or boundary, and you have to adapt to new information.
How many chess masters can do open heart surgery?
Not learning about anything except maaaybe a bit of game theory (and only the practical side, not the actual theories)
So you think every college student just phones it in and skates by?
