All undergrad degrees serve exactly two functions:
1) Getting your ticket into postgrad
2) Proving you slain the proverbial lion
Nobody at undergrad actually learns anything that matters

while statements one and two may be true

I'm going with Wren on this one. While you will actually learn some things (I could learn something getting a job at Burger King), all an undergrad degree says is that you were disciplined enough to sit through 4 years of bullshit and have earned your spot on the lower-salary ladder. The one for peons. It's next to the one for retards, which is for the people who only graduated high school.

you can't be serious.
what about engineers, chemists, biologists, teachers?
I guess they didn't learn anything too, eh?
or did you mean to say: "you don't learn a thing that you can't learn on your own."
No, nothing. You're not really qualified to do anything with a BS/BA ... except go to postgrad. Or get a job that's basically an unskilled position requiring other general positive traits.
Teaching is a little different, but you can basically look at that as being a job that has a protracted postgrad. That and it has a sort of artificial aspect to it because they're part of the sort of recycling academia.
Just thinking about this. Have met any CE/ME/EEs with MS degrees unless they are in R&D... You can get on just fine with a real BS from a known college. Psych isnt even taught as a science here though, it's in the humanities department. Humanities, yeah it makes sense to go post grad.

What makes you think postgrad qualifies you for anything then? Is it any harder to get one of those degrees than an undergrad?
And are you referring to college teaching or high school and lower?
Damn, I wonder if all my clients know they are getting software written by someone who didn't learn anything in school since I haven't done a master's degree. I thought I learned how to code, keep standards, follow the SDLC, store and retrieve data, ..... in my undergrad program. I must have just had that knowledge all along and didn't know it
I worked, A LOT. Without UF I would prolly get burned out within a couple weeks.
Thank goodness for UF!
