But they make no sense if you get a worthless degree in women’s studies, black studies, or English literature.

I disagree with part of that assessment. My oldest daughter majored in English to my dismay, because long ago I too believed it to be worthless. However, many lawyers study English and become successful. My daughter got a degree in English from U.C. Berkeley, and immediately became successful first in the magazine business as an editor and writer, then in the tech/medical field because of her English degree. She's been pulling down big bucks well into the six figures. Another daughter with an unrelated degree also went into the publishing business as an editor. There's money to be made there.

Congratulations to you on your daughters!

Their success may be more-attributable to such innate qualities as drive and discipline than to their education, however.

Good for them. If they were able to parlay their degrees into solid careers, that’s great.

Some of those degrees are obtained by people who want to work in an unrelated field that simply requires college (police officer, military officer, for example).

Your daughters have done very good. Glad for you all. :)
