<p>I agree with this sentiment. Nowadays, everybody and his brother has a college degree. In US, there is absolutely no control of supply for higher education. There are like what, 5,000 colleges in this country. (I think there are more than this) Hence, a college degree in and out of itself doesn’t carry much weight.</p>
<p>Same thing with graduate school, with the possible exceptions of med, dental, or other specialized STEM degrees. If you just go to college aimlessly just because everyone else is doing it, and because those clowns in the Congress push this hilarious notion of “education = success” non-stop, well, you are doing yourself a serious disservice. </p>
<p>Also, many people seem to forget the rule of supply vs demand. There are millions of college grads in excess supply, compared to the level of entry level jobs available. Simply put, it’s a buyer’s market. The recent recession only aggravated the problem, but it is not the source of the problem in hand. You don’t go around and tell employers that you are only interested in doing X,Y,Z type of work for A,B,C level of salary, when there are thousands of other equally qualified people lined up who can easily replace you.</p>
