Yup, I used to think that any college degree was worth something. Not so much anymore.

I'm prejudiced, but I think that Engineering degrees still are useful. As are Accounting. Nursing. Any "skilled profession".

BUT, if the degree has "Culture", "Arts", or "Studies" in it.... never mind. Too bad, too. Used to be that a "Liberal Arts" degree produced well-rounded students skilled in critical thinking. Not anymore.

Yes, they are. The acronym for that is STEM. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Those degrees pay.
