I'm never going to bash on somebody for getting a degree in the hard sciences. Those are always respectable. And I'm not going to bash on somebody who decided to go the BA or easy BS route and is obtaining/has obtained their Master's or Doctorate. Some fields those advanced degrees truly matter, others not so much. It's just hilarious the number of people with Comm, Poli Sci, Psych, Econ, Sociology, Business Admin degrees that end up selling cars at your local Kia dealership because they didn't have the drive to excel in their chose field and/or got a trash-ass degree to begin with.
And Hootie may be very, very correct in the long run about degrees being over-rated for his(and my) generation. Every ****ing body and their brother has a BS or BA in my age group. Some use them for their intended purposes. Quite a few never use them at all. The market is over-saturated with dipshits that got a piece of paper and have no idea how to use it.
Shit, I did it for a little while. Floated around with a BS in Econ, minor in Poli Sci so I was really covering my ass there. A bachelor's degree simply shows you had the time, money, and commitment to complete your course work. You showed ambition in getting that piece of paper. It doesn't make you any less of a dipshit when you get dropped out into the real world and nobody cares about your Sociology: Studies of the Elderly course during a job interview.
