[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the market is shifting to accepting experienced people without degrees vs people who took worthless ones and no experience. The worthless degrees show a lack of judgement skills and reckless spending.[/quote]

the labor market is one of the most in-efficient markets (only next to the dating market) - it is not rational at all.

Ask all the computer scientists and engineers at HP that are shitting it over job-cuts recently announced by whitman.

If you go on any message board/forum filled with electrical engineers, you will worries and fears of job loss, being undercut by foreign workers, etc.

I think a student can definitely increase his or her chance of getting on good career tracks depending on their major or school, but there are always those that do things 'right' but when the music stops, there are no more chairs for them.

i think even reasonable students who major in stuff like english do see people holding jobs in publishing and journalism - now the chances of breaking in are slim, but people do - i'm sure the people that break in are thrilled by their choice of major. so it is a percentage issue and every person has their own risk appetite.
