[Jim Noble]

College is not a jobs program.

NO degrees are “worthless”.

Anybody who goes to college expecting a payoff (unless it’s medical, dental, or vet school), or unless they graduate with a credential that guarantees a job (BSN) is an idiot.

Add lawyers and CPAs to your list.

I agree re: a real college education not being a jobs program.

But I don’t think you’re in touch with modern higher ed if you don’t think many college programs are at least close to worthless and, given the indoctrination, often worse.

Not necessarily. Large corporations have the hiring process nearly entirely owned by mind numbingly brain dead HR professionals who are box checkers. Even for most entry level jobs, one of the boxes is a four year degree. Regardless of your experience, if they can’t check the box, it is an easy way to weed you out.

You may be able to WOW the ultimate decision maker but ya gotta get past the box checker to even get that interview.
