wouldn't know, spent one semester there and got a job <:tuckerlaugh:758872277550235658>
Degrees are a ticket into a career, depending on your field of study, that college study may be valuable applied to your career. I'd say I could have taken a 6 months intesnsive learning program to prepare me for what I do today, possibly a year since it is interdiscipline. Most of what I do day-to-day was learned on the job over time. Some concepts and foundational understanding *did* come from college. But, to even get an interview you have to have that paper (or papers increasingly).
TBH, a bachelor's degree isn't much better than an associates degree from 30 years ago, or a High School Diploma from 1950.
College degrees, like everything else, have been devalued to near worthlessness via government money creation (e.g. student loans for anyone who can fog a mirror). College standards have also been dumbed down over the years to accommodate a larger student population.
the other issue is they are simply used as a filter system
the job problay doesnt require it in reality
but it makes a great filter HR can use to shorten the pile
It may be a filter for conscientiousness and to a lesser degree IQ
it’s an inefficient mechanism for evaluating those traits though
i have seen hr departments do some realy shifty things with "filtering"
4 years long, possibly 250k dollars
for isntance they have a job they want to have a h1b take
but they have to offer the job to some one in the usa first
so what they will do is place a job listing with imposable or bizaro requierments that no one either would qualify or intelegently acept
when no one applies they say they cant find some one to do the work
and then hire the h1b for pennies on the dollar
i once saw an ad for a job that requiered 15 years of experiance in java
java had only existed for 5 years
so i looks at some of the companies other listings
they were all equaly bizaro
they wanted some one with a bachalors degree to clean the floors
and at the time there was no way some one could aford to pay off loans for such a degree on what they were offering to pay
those jobs dont pay much more than some one flipping burgers or working in factory
basicaly they were just scaming the system so they could hire some guy via a outsorceing firm
that would do the job for less and they wouldent have to pay for benifits
this is why you have all these kids with hudge debt
they feel they need to get these degrees to meet those bizaro qualifications
and its also what opened the door to so many people taking liberal arts
becuse they were not there to go into a feild
they were there to get the paper so they could get any job
any job at all
