The average college grad is not much better educated than the average high school grad. Just look at all the posters on this board who can't spell correctly and blame it on autocorrect.

A degree helps you market yourself because it's a certificate to back up that you studied a certain curriculum. But it doesn't mean you actually learned how to think.
