Not really. With college loans and aid becoming so easy to get the schools have created a lay dry list if b.s. Degrees to get that money. In stupid ass things too like motel management, landscaping, and even crap like gender studies.

So basically what happened is the diploma became useless and any job worth a Damn now needs a college degree. Often it can be in anything at all and unrelated to the job entirely. It is often just a ticket to prove you are not lazy. Take Hertz for example, to work as a manager you have to have a degree. In what? Anything. Could be animal husbandry or African history. Why? Because of reasons. Good job Modern world. You delayed adulthood and added to the coat by expanding University to be an experience instead of a place to nurture the best and brightest while the rest of us graduate HS and go to work debt free.
