Sometimes just to get your foot in the door you need a Degree ... any Degree will suffice.

I think that this is true in many fields. I think the reason that a college degree, regardless of field, can get you into many fields (not engineering so much but banking, for example) is because nobody really considers a high school diploma to be a good benchmark anymore. There are many great high schools and brilliant students who graduate from high school knowing more than most college grads. But there are also many, many more who are barely educated yet have that high school diploma. Whereas 50 years ago you could have a great job and career with a high school education, nowadays people just don't want to take a chance that you weren't one of the kids that the machine just moved through without actually trying to educate. For a while college became the new high school when it came to "okay, I can trust that this person knows something". Now colleges are just cashing the checks and moving people through the pipeline just like high schools so more and more it seems that people are saying "I want to see grad school before I'll trust that you know something".

In other words, the educators have ruined education.
