Hello
I come from a background/culture where education is seen as very important and going to a university is a must (My parents came to England in 1962)
Yes, more and more jobs are seeking degrees and often even when not necessary. There are many professions where you must have a degree to join the course training
However, what I and my family call BS degrees, to name but a few
Arts
Studio Fine arts
Arth History
Business studies
Exercise Science
Fashion
I cant see what jobs they will get as there must be other routes, less intensive and extensive to get the job they want
When I've talked about mickey-mouse degrees at parties etc and not be aware that some parents children or they may have studied them, they start to defend the indefensible.
The biggest bS degree is 'Politics' - WTH!! Sadly, we know a few people whose children have done that and ended up running the family shop/business - total waste of a degree
There are other degrees just as crappy - they should be banned IMO
AIBU to think these degrees are a waste of time and often do not aid the person into a job in that field?
