That’s true for many degrees, but in general college degrees are not Garbage IMO...

It’s sort of hard to become any type of Engineer, like Electrical, Structural, Chemical, etc...without attending college....

The same would hold true of someone trying to become a medical doctor...

All that goes into getting a degree in a technical profession a lot of it is unnecessary but required.

A lot of technical professions don’t require college degrees, I spent my career in Computer Tech Support and I have a college degree and I worked with a number of people who didn’t and most of them were really talented..

If you want to learn to be software coder, I think you would be better off spending money on learning to code at a technical training school versus a 4 year university, you will employed sooner making the same amount of money....and spending far less on the training.

I think college degrees are still a valid option for many career fields, but people need to do their homework and evaluate the cost of getting the degree versus what type of degree they are going after......

You are preaching to a bunch of people who think college is a bunch of indoctrination classes. I would suggest that in 90% of majors your assessment is accurate. They go out and get decent jobs.

There are a group of majors that reflect this story’s theme. No one would “mate” with those women anyway.
