Too many PhD's? No, but we're definitely giving out too many Bachelor's.

Actually I think that we give out far too many degrees, period.They're being devalued. Everyone seems to think that they're owed higher education; especially those who have no aptitude.

I agree. It seems like some of the people who get degrees now would struggle to get a high school diploma.

Well, what do you expect when it's been beaten into most of us for generations that you can't have a decent paying job without a degree?

Yup, sure has. I turned down a machinist apprenticeship, straight out of college, because I was by damn going to use my diploma. Unfortunately we still need carpenters, plumbers, electricians, garbage men, general labourers, ...... There's a good living to be made in such areas; likely better than at some helpdesk, that's going to be outsourced anyway.

Agreed! What I told my son is that with a good education you can CHOOSE to dig ditches if you want. With no education you don't get to choose. No one gave me my degree. I earned it. |
