Useless Degrees

A prejudice we must overcome. Some people look down on vocational schools. A degree from a four-year college is considered first class in social circles. A vocational-school degree isn’t.

Those who have employable skills will earn top dollar at jobs that employers want, even in deep recessions. Others, with their fancy-school diplomas sit around for the lack of opportunity, despite all their effort toward those impressive but impractical and useless degrees. It’s rough spending a fortune to get through college, to earn a degree that doesn’t enable you to find a decent job.

It is worse when that a career puts you in extreme debt. ( See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments.)
