Pay for women is on the rise and exceeds men in many metropolitan areas already. I don't really buy the worthless college degree topic argument.

- johnnyanmac 2y agoWe're just in a really bad "liquid" economy right now, so it's easy to feel that narrative of "college degrees are useless". They aren't useless, but as tuition rises it is inevitably going to be a worse investment. Not to the point where trades are worth its equally annoying but different kind of annoyance, though. Pay depends on unions, and get into trade unions is anything but a meritocracy.
- tbrownaw 2y agoWell, there's a couple different things a degree can be used for. If you actually use specific things you learned, it's useful in the way that training and certification is useful. If you don't, it's mostly just an indicator of "this person is at least this smart". Which only really matters to the extent that employers use it to save time on interviews.
