Seems like in today's society, the honor of earning a Bachelors Degree has seemed to lost it's value. I state this because I have noticed that more and more with time the Bachelors Degree is now almost equivalent to a certain amount of experience needed for a job. I am someone who tends to look for jobs quite often, and I see that quite a few jobs will take either or. Not to mention, now more than ever the Bachelors Degree is the most common degree. Not to say that earning a college degree is meaningless, but is it worth all the loans, stress and time? I'm currently a college student so I understand the struggle. but when I see that someone can work at a company for nearly 10 years and make around 50- 65 thousand a year, it makes you questions things. This observation is not just an opinions, but I have done some reading and this is what I found. Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences.
I think degrees are losing "value" because so many people have them. At one time it was a prestigious status symbol, and to some extent it still is. I still think a BA MBA Masters Doctorate still open a ton of doors that otherwise would be closed.
Most of them are. Especially liberal arts degrees (aka 4-year party degrees) because so many over-grown children are getting them. Computer science and electrical engineering degrees actually seem to be increasing in value, though.

It's absurd to think that liberal arts degrees are 4-year party degrees. I have multiple degrees in liberal arts fields (computer science and physics). If you think that computer science and physics are party majors, it's quite evident that you lack experience with college education. Both liberal arts programs are in demand in both the private and academic sector.

That individual has constantly bashed liberal arts programs like computer science, physics, and math. It seems to make her feel good.
The reality is that liberal arts programs like computer science, physics, and math should not be bashed as they are great programs (just like other liberal arts programs) to get an education in.
