There are some things that a college degree can be useful for but to act as if every job needs one is absurd
no degrees are useful under the current regime where someone has to get 40 useless marxist indoctrination credits in "humanities"
True. I was thinking of legit STEM type degrees but you see how that has been infested
A lot of jobs just have the requirement as a filter instead of actually requiring college level skills. Of course that stops working when everyone and their mother has a degree because the colleges pass every retard who shows up in the name of wokeness. The only degrees that are worth anything are STEM, and only certain parts of STEM.
I think the politicization of climate science, virology and immunology over the past few years has reduced huge areas of STEM to the same level as an arts degree.
I agree with you, but I was referring to unmarketable parts as much as the politicalized parts. You would be shocked how worthless a physics degree is without a graduate degree for example. That was true for a biology degree long before the left decided to excise politically inconvenient parts of that field. It's mostly engineering, programming, and the more applied parts of math and statistics that are still useful. Even then you have to be careful that you don't end up in the subfield that gets outsourced to India.
We really need to push Republicans on the state & federal level to allow IQ tests for jobs. SCOTUS banned it in the 1980s under "muh Civil Rights" but I think the current SCOTUS would overturn that decision.
