    I guess people are missing my point. People aren’t getting those useless degrees for no reason. They’re getting them to avoid being discriminated against, and even though, yes they are useless in a practical sense, avoiding that discrimination is pretty valuable.

      And who cares? A lot of people in the trades make more than even engineers. Who cares if someone acts like you’re uneducated when you’re earning 3x as much as them and they have to call you to get stuff fixed.

      I makes 0 sense to go 6 figures inti debt to get an arts degree just to later become a barista at Starbucks or an HR rep. And that discrimination won’t end until people start bucking the trend
