Generally speaking, this is my point. It's BS but I got one because you are "supposed" to. Not once has my BS college degree gotten me a job. I've been in the same field of work for about 20 years. My point being I make a decent living and owe none of it to my "degree". I don't believe it to be a requirement like it was in the past.

you are not getting an interview for any management or pretty much any decent job unless you have one.

you can start in the bottom at a company....still not getting that management position without the degree.

things have changed and pretty much every door is closed without a degree except things like the trades.

Go try and get hired at a bank without a degree and see how far you get. hell go try and get a management job at a retail store....good luck without it.

If for any reason you ever want to work in another country you must have a college degree to get a work visa in most places.

You are conflating your experience 20 years ago with the realities of today.
