I have been an employer and I can assure you that that is no longer the case. Yes, years ago, a degree guaranteed intelligence and a high degree of literacy at the very least. But no longer.

I have seen numerous 'graduates' who were barely literate (some universities run remedial literacy classes for first year students. What does that tell you?). I have seen utter imbeciles granted degrees. What then is the modern degree worth? It now depends on the university and the subject. It is no longer a carte blanche.

Blair wanted to send everyone to university. What would that make degrees worth? When everyone has something, does it have any value over and above the ordinary? No, not even that.

Here's the brutal truth that appertains in the hard world of commerce and industry. Many (but obviously, not all), 'degrees' are now actually regarded as a disqualification, as the holder will be regarded as an airy-fairy, useless layabout.

LOL Your post served as a good laugh.

Issues my friend.

I would suggest that soem of the greatest artists and designers the world has ever known, did not have art degrees.

Same can be said for science degrees.
