Hopefully the infatuation with “degrees” will one day come to an end.

I do hope you are right. I have met enough people with PhD and Master degrees who could not hold an intelligent conversation, who thought they were incredibly bright and well educated but hadn’t even heard of half the sources I mentioned who refute their claims. Or the degrees are in technology, which don’t really further an employee’s ability to perform, unless they get business training on top of tech training to enter the managerial realm.

I think people like to add the abbreviations of their degrees after their names as a memorial to the alphabet-soup agencies that FDR established and that were emblematic of the coming Leviathan State.

College degrees are quickly becoming nothing more than the credentials needed to preach from the altar of Collectivism.

Hopefully, a new system of post K-12 education will emerge.
