  • This can’t be that shocking to the news media and “analysts”. Kids have been practically railroaded into getting at least a BS for decades, a lot of the time to the tune of 10s of thousands of dollars in debt if not more. Now that nearly everyone entering the work place has one it is not the selling point to employers that it was once. Supply and demand and all that.

    And that’s before you even get into the usefulness of so much of the coursework in a lot of these degree programs. I only have an associates degree and probably half of the program was unrelated to the stated purpose of the degree. I can’t imagine how much junk is required for a 4 year or more in the name of being a well rounded person.

    Maybe, just maybe, everyone is starting to wake up to just how self serving the college industry has become.
