The worth, or value, of a degree is in the eyes of the market.

Far too many people bought houses and degrees over the last twenty years without any thought to whether their purchases actually were in line with their personal goals and missions (or their budgets, for that matter). And, much like going shopping without a list can result in buying too much, far too many Americans simply bought too much, particularly with easy credit and subsidies from the various levels of government, which were eagerly chasing after noble social goals like educating more people and making home affordable.
