good degree
Absolutely a misnomer in today's society. I work in finance and I don't have a "good" degree. Every HR person I've ever talked to said they don't care what you get your degree in. What they care is that you are able to learn quickly at a high quality level. To quote someone in upper management "schools across the board have done such a poor job preparing graduates for the work force that a finance major doesn't mean much more than a underwater basket weaving major. It's the person that's attached to that degree that matters."
I'll add the caveat that this only means for people not getting a "professional degree" Those do matter

I think the key here is that every business has their own way of doing things that a school can't teach. To do the corporate world now, you have to be able to think on your feet and adapt quickly. School can help you learn that but they can't hold your hand forever.
