Higher education serves purposes

Even if you think they aren't valuable.

I think most people view the value of a degrees in monetary capitalization.

The biggest question I always get is what does the job market look like.

@BillyMack If you educated yourself outside of capitalism, you are more well rounded. That is why you can't get a degree solely on your major but must take general classes as well aspart of your curriculum.

@FoxyQueen most universities have that general education requirement, where it’s more than half of the actual major. It’s on the students though to find the classes that make them think and not just what allows them sleep in or maintain a schedule. So I get what you’re saying.

Back in the day, even studying "The classics" used to be considered of value. In that it taught research skills and study habits.. But these days, French poetry and Egyptology wont get you very far..I used to use "Remidial Macrame" as the example of the useless diploma. But I believe there is a genuine course somewhere on the music of the Beatles that has limited application..😷
