[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if people aren't bothering to answer what seems like a silly question. Yes, I use my degrees every day of my life, as I wouldn't have my job or anything remotely like it, if I didn't have them. They are absolutely necessary credentials in my field. But it's not just signaling--I learned a lot of useful information and skills in college and grad school. And college especially enriched my life and helped shaped the way I think. But I was an intellectual-minded student studying liberal arts at a very good college. Perhaps people who studied more technical subjects, or who viewed college as a place to learn a trade felt less enriched by college (or weren't seeking enrichment). But then I don't consider college to be trade school. I believe college is about [i]education[/i] more than it is about training. I'm in the 95th percentile of wage earners in the US. So yes, I am well compensated. I have a B.A. in political science and a master's in public policy.[/quote]
