Those racist engineers! They actually wanted correct answers, dammit!
He he he he he
That said, I would submit to you, as a professor, chair of my department, former associate dean, and former associate provost at my university, a bachelor’s degree is not worth much (even from a university like Harvard).
In short, it really takes an advanced degree e.g., a Master’s or PhD degree that will make one’s career more viable. Further, students need to realize that it is the connections that they make at their respective college; which will in turn make them even more viable in the job marketplace.
To summarize, an undergraduate education can only act as an intensifier toward a more relevant course of experience; which is very expensive.
Sorry to say this, but that’s the way it is.
“Administrators and staffers actually outnumber full-time faculty members at America’s colleges and universities...
It’s how they hook up their liberal buddies. Justify a position, making sure that it fits the resume of one of your friends, exactly. Why? Because you used their resume to write up the job requirements.
No different than insurance companies, hospitals and the Granddaddy of them all....US Dept of State.
How many Deputy, Assistant, Undersecretary’s to the Assistant Deputy to the Ambassadors does it really need?
>>what is the value of a bachelor’s degree in women’s studies or sociology or any other fields that are not science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or business? Ask some of the young people working at your local coffee shop or favorite restaurant. They will probably tell you, “not much.”<<
Which is why Dave Ramsey says you should get a local State college degree in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, or business.
Next year they’re shutting down the engineering and science ( useless degrees since USA corporations import cheap Obedient slave labor from Asia).
Fauxcahoness’ smoke signal today read:
“The SPICE must flow”.
She also says: “If you like your medicine man, you can keep your medicine man”
Almost ANY degree that ends in “studies” is worthless (except to the college that will make a buttload of money issuing it.)
And believe me, the foreigners that are coming here and taking jobs because of their degree, don't have one in “urban studies” or “women's studies” or “minority studies” or any other pointless liberal nonsense.
It is ‘hard’ subjects mainly in the math and science fields that make the money. Unfortunately they are also the ones that take the work - any nobody wants to do that anymore. So go run up $50k in student loan debt (that will never be paid back) to get a degree in underwater basket weaving or some other useless skill.
And where’s the money to repair our infrastructure going to come from? Our government is broke.
They’ll print it and all the businessmen who know nothing of the fraud of an unbacked paper fiat medium of exchange will be more than happy to accept it right up to the point when a wheelbarrow of the shit MAYBE buys a loaf of bread.
Some of us have been TRYING (in vain) to teach folks where this Rothschild international banker scam leads but too few give a shit!

The problem dictates the changes which we are experiencing even now i.e. the terminal decadence of the culture and the Republic. We are destined to make the Roman transition to Empire, either as a Caesar or a Lenin seizes control and militarizes society or as it all falls apart and becomes a province of a more masculine and expanding empire such as Islam or China.
We should call it the Taxpayer-Higher Education Complex. I’m SO tires of people saying “the government” when it’s the taxpayer who’s footing the bill.
May the universities die soon and painfully!
Liberal rat scam, feds should raid the endowments of these universities and pay off student debts
The author of this article claims that far too many of this generation are leaviing college with too much debt and too few job opportunities. RIGHT about the debt but WRONG about the lack of jobs. Too many of the graduates are leaving college with degrees in unemployment. They are ill prepared for the available jobs. Those lending the money to these idiots should restrict the loans to degrees that employers need. Then they will have a job and an income stream to pay off their college loan.
What is the root cause?
Liberals.
“Not too long ago, diagramming sentences was grade school and Algebra was middle school. Now, many “studies” college grads can’t write nor perform anything higher than addition and subtraction.”
I finished high school in 1962 and entered the Navy and completed a 38 week Navy electronics school. I have no other formal education other than short company paid training schools. I recently took an online test to “determine my level of education”. Imagine my surprise when at the end of the test I was told that my education level is “post doctoral”. Now I don’t put a lot of stock in that test but I am certain of one thing. There definitely are many people in the community around me who have multiple college degrees but could not pass my high school finals if their lives depended on it.
“but if the degreed are that bad, how much worse those who couldn’t even manage to complete a degree in anything?”
Anything? Really?
Yours is precisely the out-dated attitude that has to be overcome by folks choosing an alternative educational path. That you think your correct is the problem.
Best thing that can happen.
Academia be made responsible for all the outstanding student loans.
Real property wouild be sold and endowments opened to pay down all the loans.
Academia will have to fund all further loans to students.
Watch the bloat go away and the snickering students as an unlimited supply of money go away.
