What's the value of a college degree?

10. It's worth as much as the material it's printed on.

It doesn't entitle its owner to a single thing.

Earning a degree doesn't magically open a door to a high paying job if that high paying job didn't exist before the degree was earned. Does anyone get that? "I have a degree, but not a job" is just about the least intelligent statement I've ever heard. It's as if the person with the degree thinks earning a degree CREATED a job.

Don't show me your credentials... show me your abilities. PROVE your worth by completing the tasks you're assigned. Until you do that, your degree means squat and isn't worth any more than the cost to print it.

And that's the way it SHOULD be.
