I’m not so much saying degrees are useless as saying they mean less, the ROI for going in general has shifted. We’re at a point where 2 and 4 year degrees look good to employers but are financially foolish for students. If you can afford to go it’s valable. But the proposition of student loans make less sense by the day.

Degrees don’t tell us everything we need to know about a candidate, but they tell us a hell of a lot more than not having a degree does. Candidates are unknowns, and candidates without degrees moreso. If I’m combing through 40 applications then a degreed person is way more likely to get an interview, all else being equal.
