I've just finished my undergrad in 2023. Due to what I saw and encountered, I only have respect for White Men that graduate now. Because I know how heavy the deck is stacked against them, and I know how much others are pandered too. I could go back and work on a Masters, but at this point, I'd rather not spend another cent on these institutions. And it also shows me just how bad degree inflation really is.

Everyone's a 'Doctor' this or that now.

True. I've been looking at a pilots school if I want to continue learning and expanding my skill base. Sorry about the late reply.
