Is Biology a useless degree without the medical field?

@DTBTSE I am not in any “camp” on the worth of a Biology degree, but was just stating what I have seen which is about 90% of my Biology degree friend group got some sort of advanced degree. My own mentor told me a long time ago (late 90’s) that all college degrees besides a few (Engineering, Accounting/Finance/Business Administration, and Computer Science) would be more like high school degrees from 50 years ago, and that most to all other majors would need advanced degrees to have the same earning potential and match what a BA or BS degree could do when he came out of college in the mid 70’s. I am sure that there are other high paying degrees out there, but I agree that most BA and BS degrees are losing the battle against inflationary pressures.
