    “should be” doesn’t account for the realities of the hiring process, the intense credential inflation, or being positioned well enough to take advantage of opportunities when they arise.

    People didn’t go out and get useless degrees, they were trained for fields that were rendered obsolete by the time they graduated and are facing intense competition with absurd requirements.

      That’s why I’m asking…

      People didn’t go out and get useless degrees,

      Yes they do, all the time useless sociology degrees and psych degrees that doesn’t qualify them for any good paying jobs. Bitch all you want, getting an accounting degree is worth more than a comm degree.
