Degrees mean something, and it's not just that you're educated in the subject of your major. I have (among others) a degree in Physics. However, 17 of the 40 courses I took have nothing to do with my Major--Philosophy, Theology, Economics, Sociology, English, History, Spanish, etc. Getting a college degree and majoring in something are only half of the picture. A college education is much broader than it appears, and, frankly, it's as different from a high school education as high school is from grade school. These Hollywood types have no idea on what they missed out on.

Personally I think college-level Macro- and Microeconomics courses should be mandatory for all Americans. We live in a Capitalist market economy. It only makes sense to me that people should be properly educated in what makes it tick.

Just read an encyclopedia cover to cover a few dozen times. Some of it will stick. Might not help you out in your capitalist ventures but oh well...
