so in 3 posts you did a complete 180 and now agree with me?
anyways
I have hundreds of friends at the U of I that have degrees/are getting degrees. When I went to ISU, same thing. ISU was a joke. I edited my roommates final paper and it was the worse thing I had ever read. That guy has a degree.
The economics/communication/gen ed/etc... degrees are laughable. Professors don't care anymore, online classes are a huge joke...
employers aren't just going to hire these people out of college when they have zero prior work experience...they are just getting burned by these kids now...because they are too entitled and expect everything to be easy and don't want to work
I honestly predict that in 10-20 years people are going to realize that work experience/a good resume/good professional references are a lot better than an economics degree.
Hell, an associates and an impeccable working resume landed me a pretty sweet gig.
