I get it; many of these degrees are nice to have, but it's hard to justify their cost given their low job prospects. I know of a guy who got his degree in old English literature. He graduated with zero prospects. He decided to go into finance. He retired early as a millionaire. I know a guy who got a CS degree from Columbia. He has struggled in his career. He gets laid off or quits. The old English literature graduate is not the norm. He's astute and completely knew what he was getting into and dealt well with his situation. The CS guy has a hard time managing his situation, like many others. Ultimately, it comes down to the individual. Getting a degree is just the start of a working life. You need to fight for your desired job and not stop until you retire. That's what is ultimately important.
