No.
It's essential. I do see a rise of trade schools but in the end, if you don't have a degree, you're likely to be unemployed.
hah wut no
Tons of office jobs don't require degrees.
Please name 5.
Data entry, service representative, secretary, personal assistant, HR, and other jobs I've applied for. There's a ton with obscure names that I can't think of off the top of my head.
Data Entry - Ok.
Service Representative - Depends on the service. Low level "call people" sure. But nothing you can live off of.
Secretary - Depends on the company.
Personal Assistant - Same as a Secretary.
HR - Ok, this one you need a degree in management. If you found one where you don't, it's a lie or a scam or a really shitty job.
Honestly, I don't know where you're applying for work, but it sounds like really crappy jobs.
My degree is definitely not worth the money. I'll probably be paying back loans for the rest of my life and my university is pretty cheap.
Seriously?
I'll be done in like 5 years. And I spent about $50,000.
Well I averaged about 10,000 per semester and liberal arts is a thankless area of study. I almost have to get a Master's to make it worthwhile.
Liberal Arts eh?
Yeah I can see how that would be nearly worthless. But isn't the point to have work you're doing already that's artistic like writing or drawing or something of that nature?
