Add to that the fact that not all degrees are equal... there are plenty of "degree factories" that pump out useless people who don't know anything marketable.

Having a degree is, as you've said, a requirement (I have a 2 year... I'm out on some jobs because of it)...
Not having a degree is bad. Having a useless degree is worse as you now (generally) have the debt of a paper that means nothing.
- foolinaround 5y ago> Having a useless degree Do you mean a degree in weird subjects, or from non-famous colleges?
- xwdv 5y agoWeird subjects.
- wernercd 5y agoPersonally, I'd say "weird subjects" - or, if not weird, not marketable. The proverbial "basket weaving" degree or stuff like that. I think the more common "liberal arts" line as well. https://blog.prepscholar.com/worst-college-majors https://blog.prepscholar.com/worst-college-majors https://www.salary.com/passages/8-college-degrees-with-the-worst-return-on-investment/3/ https://www.salary.com/passages/8-college-degrees-with-the-w... https://www.ownyourownfuture.com/most-useless-degrees/ https://www.ownyourownfuture.com/most-useless-degrees/ What I find interesting in these articles (and others) is CompSci is listed as a bad investment... oversaturation and what not.
