that's bull puckey. there are tons of jobs that require at least a bachelor's degree, even if they don't care what it's in.
you might as well say a highschool diploma doesn't get you anything. which it doesn't, directly, but try living without one.
meh.. I still it's better to have one than not have one.
It shows, as I tell my 19y.o., that you AT LEAST have sticktoitiveness. you can manage a schedule, you can meet deadlines, etc. hell, you SHOWED UP is worth something in our increasingly apathetic nation.

it's not bull puckey...I know tons of people who never graduated and most if not all are all making phd level money like myself...the system is broken and only sheep play the game at this point imo...if you're going to be an MD or a lawyer then I can understand, but otherwise...

I grew up with my grandparents and they can't even turn a computer on. My first job in IT was as a temp for $8 an hour on the phone. Inside 2 years I was the IT Dir of the company. I had no help.
And you think thats what happens to most people? You really do have a silver spoon.
