It never helped me that way. It was something for HR interviewers to say when they don’t want you: well, you don’t have a degree… (They think of something else if you do have one.)
“And the last thing he would want to take is economics 101, that would make him one of those evil bankers or loan people who gave him the money to go to college.”
Last I checked bankers don’t give you money, they LOAN you money at astronomical rates. And you HAVE to pay it back. Bankruptcy won’t help with student loans.
Just to be serious for a moment, is employment the only reason to get an education? Sure, it’s good to have a marketable skill; there’s a whole range of skills out there, from fixing cars to building bridges, and everything else. But isn’t there some value in knowing about what human beings have thought and created over the years? I would say that there’s room for both kinds of education.
