- theorique 12y agoAgreed, but I bet you'd also agree that there's more competition for most post-college jobs nowadays, than there was in the big expansion years of the 1960s and 70s. At that time, the mere fact of a college degree (never mind the specific discipline) was enough of a distinction that companies would hire BA holders relatively casually. A generic "college degree" is still a good bet to make over a lifetime, but getting one's foot in the door is harder, since a greater percentage of the population does some post-secondary credentialing.
