> "Do you have a degree?" -- "I sure do, I graduated with MS in coffee arts (MsCA) from Starbucks University, Phoenix". Or just got a "PhD in applied lobbying from Lockheed".
Not arguing against public funding of education, but you're making a nice point about the inherent BS of degrees that exist merely on paper.
Nobody actually cares about that piece of paper - employers want to know what you DID and what you're CAPABLE of.
A college degree used to be reasonable proof of peoples' abilities, but today conflating the two usually doesn't help. Thus post-college unemployment, or idiots running companies from nice positions.
