re: 1 out of 4 bachelor degrees and nearly half of masters degrees have a negative ROI

Honestly having hired a few recent grads and a few who have master's I find that a lot of people who have HE diplomas to be nearly retarded when it comes to critical thinking, basic math and communication skills. How can a graduate with a master's degree not be able to do basic arithmetic, calculate the average of something or write in complete sentences. When I ask them about their work in school, most simply say they did the work assigned them online, were given 1000 opportunities to correct and get extra credit and are not expected to read much. I think the whole fail them up and out model of HS a decade ago, that saw folk graduating HS without being able to read has become the norm for HE now. At the moment, I'd rather have someone with a good attitude and desire to work over someone with an advance degree. Also, oversupply is going to lead to less value and we simply have way too many people going to university. Students are seen as crops and the institution doesn't seem to care about quality, they need to keep the number of asses in the seats high to keep the money flowing.

Online masters degrees are worthless. Nothing but money makers for universities. They don’t even have the selection factor of most graduate programs since anyone that can pay is admitted to online programs.
