The same can be said for high school teachers. They need to stop telling every kid to get a bachelors degree and instead teach kids that there are other options out there for them and help them find their way in those directions.

Well, colleges have those degrees because there are fools willing to pay for it. I have a friend who was so scared of his theology degree and getting out of school, he actually spent half of his life in school until he got his PHD in ancient Hebrew scrolls. He now teaches class in some Central Mississippi A&M University
I mean if this was some recognized school with anthropology and biblical studies department I can see that, but he is in the middle of nowhere with 30+ idiots sleeping through his bullshit lectures.
For some reason people think that just about any college degree will earn respect from potential employer.
