<p>The problem is there are too many employers who require degrees for jobs that shouldn’t require degrees. Particularly with employment through the internet it’s way too easy for HR people to save themselves a lot of resume reading by just requiring a bachelor degree for something a high school grad could easily do. </p>
<p>As far as hating for-profit education…I think this society would be FAR better off if millions of English and history majors at 3rd tier schools went to DeVry to learn to operate or repair heavy machinery, computers, MRI’s, etc. I appreciate the desire for liberal educations but it’s not like there aren’t millions of people holding B.A.s who wouldn’t know a Platonic ideal if it hit them in the face and called them Sally.</p>
