Aaron is going after the wrong people. It is not the students or former students that should be blamed. It is the companies and other organizations requiring a college degree. Most jobs should not require a college degree. Investment banking should not require a college degree. I should know. You just need basic bookkeeping, powerpoint and excel skills. You can get this working a clerical job. Marketing, Management, Software engineering, and Sales jobs do not need a degree. The companies use the degree requirement as a screening process. Even doctors, lawyers, engineers, and CPA level accountants do not need the full 4 years of undergrad. 2 to 3 is sufficient enough. You do not need 4 years of bullshit classes. Just the relevant classes. Requiring an expensive degree puts young people between a rock and a hard place. Why was fast-food restaurants requiring a college degree?

[@JGComments]

? It’s a sorting mechanism, that’s all. If you could sit through 4 years of lectures and get into a different school, they take it as a signal that you have above average diligence and intelligence. It’s purely practical. You have to realize that there are way, way more qualified applicants for every good job than an HR department can put through the process. They don’t need qualified applicants, they only need the few that are the best qualified, and that includes a degree.

How about instead of college or study one skill a week through Google and KZbin while working a job to support yourself?
