I feel like that is the problem. Now that everyone has one, if you don't.. your distinguishing yourself in a bad way.
Personally I think the degree is just a piece of paper and I didn't lean anything in college. But I have a degree and that is necessary today just to get even the most slight job.
I don't really understand Bernie Sanders' plan to give everyone a free education. That will just make things worse. A degree won't be even the slightest bit special. It is sad to say but the value of the college education was never 'what you learned" which is unknowable anyway.. it was weeding out a certain group as a better caliber of employee so employers could feel they had something special.
I went to grad school and it is the same thing... wayy to many people got this degree for the jobs available and now 50% are out of work or making what someone at Starbucks would.
