[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there's always been some tension with degrees that aren't from the top schools.
If you graduate with an English degree from a small, not well known school, what are your options with that degree?  Teaching may be one, if you can get the teaching certificate.  You may luck into something that uses your degree.  But you may also end up doing something like real estate, that you could have done without the degree.  And if you've paid a ton for the degree and have debt, that may feel like a bad deal.  With the labor market contracting, I do think the options for people are going to contract.  And with AI replacing some of what was previously considered "good" degrees regardless of the school (like computer science, basic programmers or IT support), it becomes even more challenging.
I don't know what the answer is, other than that we probably need fewer people in the labor market, but that is going to be a rough adjustment that no one seems prepared to make.[/quote]

Sure. You could also end up at Harvard Law if your grades are excellent. [/quote]
