  2. Us Boomers can remember losing out on jobs to people because they had those exact "skills".. but I am a wizard with a sliderule, and typewriter.

  3.  @sipeolusoga5817  College has become a bad joke in the USA with the majority of students getting degrees that do not lead to careers. This parody is mocking the otherwise bright students who wasted four years and tens of thousands of dollars without even looking at future job prospects.

  6.  @ridhazangar3098  I agree, individual students SHOULD research their degree programs before contracting. They are responsible for their choices, for good or for ill. I would not use the term "scam" I would say "poorly advised choice", choices made available by an unethical ( although legal ) industry. Scams are illegal, generally.

  25. Doesn't anyone get a Minor with their degree anymore. I got a BS in Liberal Arts, but the Accounting/Finance minor fed my family. I was also accepted into grad school for Epidemiology.

  30.  @TheButterMinecart1  I'm so old that I can remember poets actually selling books. Study anything that you want, but unless you have a trust fund you are a product in the marketplace. Sadly, Google has largely replaced society's perceived need for individuals with esoteric knowledge. Spelling, grammar, and even cursive writing are collapsing. "Learn to code" they say. I did, and everything I had learned became obsolete overnight. I liked the arts and humanities and was happy to receive a degree in Liberal Arts, but it was a minor in finance that fed my family. It is possible to have both, but at a price.
