[QUOTE="Cat City Slim, post: 3626168, member: 42075"] As the holder of 5 degrees, I consider myself to be something of an expert on this topic. In my opinion, almost all college degrees are most useful as toilet paper. The cost of college has risen to the point that higher education is a terrible investment. Unless one comes from money, or can get a full-ride scholarship, one is far wiser to learn a trade or look for a decent job. Otherwise, one is very likely to be saddled with toxic student loan debt for a lifetime. Salaries for degree-required jobs have fallen sharply in real terms, and formerly high-paid jobs are rapidly being sent abroad. My advice to those I’ve spoken with who have a true passion that requires a degree is to find a job that offers tuition assistance, and to avoid student loans at all cost. They won’t have a lot of fun, but they also won’t be required to mortgage their future. [/QUOTE]
