[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gender discussion aside, college degrees are quickly becoming worthless.

If everyone can and does get one, then they aren't worth a thing anymore.

Blame diploma mill colleges, who simply hand out degrees to anyone with the money.

Blame government student loan scams, for giving everyone a load to give to the colleges.

It's all a money laundering operation these days.

Awhile back I listened to a radio show where the far right leaning white man who supported Project 25 was talking about how college degrees were worthless. Apparently since men weren’t pursuing them so much as in the past and now more women than men were getting degrees, the only explanation was that degrees didn’t have much value. They are only worth something if men think they’re worth pursuing. It was an interesting spin. [/quote]
That sounds related the the phenomenon described by another PP:

[i]There are interesting studies on straight men opting out of anything - a degree field, a job type, a sport, the whole idea of college - when it becomes too popular with women. The tipping point is really low and once an activity gets that critical percentage of women, straight men abandon it. And then you start hearing about how it's worthless because "anybody" can do it.

The number of gay men attending college has not decreased, btw - only straight men.[/i]

I saw that comment after I posted. I was just so surprised/shocked about the view that men were choosing not to get degrees because they had no value but I see that it goes beyond college. [/quote]
