    Perhaps this isn’t obvious to you but higher education, while valuable, has long just been a rubber stamp.

    Many grads don’t work on their feild of study and many people are just trying to get the paper so they can get a job.

    It’s been like this for 30 years.

      I use my degrees at work. In fact, had I not paid attention I would have long since been fired, sued, or placed in prison. Possibly all three. Though, low odds on graduating at all.

      Rubber stamp or not, the information remains disheartening.
