A degree has little real value nowadays. I recently attended a college graduation of a family member. At the start of the ceremony, "latin honor graduates" were asked to stand. 2/3's of the graduating class stood up. Believe it or not, it didn't used to be this way. Decades ago when I graduated, maybe 10-15% were honors graduates. Being in this group meant you were either smarter than average, you worked your ass off or both. Nowadays, the main requirement for a degree is money. A degree proves very little beyond the fact that you obtained the money somehow and went through the necessary motions.
