It's like an arms buildup that hurts everyone. If we could cut the number of people going to college (by maybe 50% or so) then there would not be so many people with student loan debt, and the employers would have just hire people without a college degree for jobs that don't really require it.
I've never had a job for which my college degree was really necessary. I even worked for the federal government for several years, and the older people in my position didn't have college degrees. Even one of the ladies who supervised me didn't have a college degree; she started working for the government straight out of high school and worked her way up into a professional job.
I do agree with all of that .
But to my reality , older people didnt need the same prerequisite as it was 30 years ago either .
That’s all .
U won’t be able to go far ( if even enter in the government today ) without some education today which was possible previously.
My point was , without a degree , life will be much harder today then it was 25-30 years because of the lack of jobs u could fall back upon , like manufacturing jobs for example.
It isn’t just about What u study like u said , but to actually have the paper is by itself a plus which I fortunately as reach indecent level of cost that shouldn’t be necessary .
But they are almost force too .
