Luckily most people get degrees in fields where there's not a lot of use.
I want to give a heartfelt thanks to all of those who got those types of degrees. You've made corporate America less competitive.

And what would a useless degree be? Who are you to judge what is and isn't useful in somebody's life? If someone finds women studies to fascinate them, kudos to them for pursuing something they enjoy. I could just as easily make a baseless claim (as yours is) by stating that Corporate America is less competitive in the job market because people want to distance themselves from the terrible mess that is Wall Street.Luckily most people get degrees in fields where there's not a lot of use.

I never said they were useless. I said that they didn't have a lot of use. The level of usefulness is dependent upon the person; in a corporate environment, it is dependent on its applicability to the job. There is no useless degree. However, some degrees have more use than others in the atmosphere of job market.Luckily most people get degrees in fields where there's not a lot of use.

[QUOTE="Communistik"][QUOTE="psychobrew"] As an analyst, I disagree.psychobrew
Disagree all you want. If you can't provide a reason as to why you disagree, it doesn't really mean anything to me. Why don't you go ahead and explain what quantitative analysis you can perform that will account for ALL variables in a full-time college experience and their effects on college graduates.
Like it or not, people are more predictable than you think. The value of college can be quantified as a whole.Once again, unless you can explain yourself, that means absolutely nothing. I think you're generalizing to avoid admitting that there are WAY too many variables involved to say with any authority that college isn't worth as much as it is made out to be. It is, even if just by virtue of the fact that a bachelor's degree is a bottom-line requirement for almost every decent-paying job.

First of all, let me make it clear that I don't agree with the article. Having said that, what variable do you think can't be measured?
