I’m not really sure what point you’re trying to make. You’re right, Army WOs don’t need a degree (regionals); commissioned officers do (legacy). Not a direct correlation, but see the point? Could a senior WO command a battalion or a brigade? Sure. Some much better than a lot of LTCs/COLs kicking around I’m sure. Just like some regional pilots could run circles around legacy pilots.
Certain jobs require a degree. Don’t have it, don’t get the job...
