[quote=Anonymous]It's one more sign that we're becoming a banana republic.  The suckers who pay for the bullshit online degrees are basically people who have realized that there are lots of jobs in America where it's damned near impossible to advance to the next level and so they're desperately trying everything they can to get a few more bucks, a living wage for their families.

There are in many fields too many educated people chasing the same few jobs and so people think that having the MA online or whatever will let them stand out among the masses.  That's why you need a BA in telephone answering to work at our local veterinarian's office.

IT's going to get worse as the robots take more and more jobs.  I live in a shitty urban area in the south and everyone on our city council has a phd.

(And in the US, advancement is often blocked because the GS-14 or whatever is NEVER going to retire. Last four guys in my husband's office literally died in their chairs in front of their computer screens.  ANd no, it's not their fault either -- it's because of jobs with bad retirement plans, etc).[/quote]
