I agree...a lot of degrees are nothing more than money shams. Colleges are continuing to raise the requirements of high schoolers scores on standardized tests (ACT, SAT, etc) to be omitted from taking remedial classes. In doing so, students are having to stay in college longer and spend more money on classes they don't receive credit for. It's a business...and a pretty good one. I have a buddy that works for CSX without a degree and makes 75,000 a year. That's pretty good without having to waste 5 years and get in a ton of debt in the process. Myself...

Oh gosh. Where to start on that one. The first thing that hits me there is my first two years I spent at a community college in my hometown. My first semester the advisor (despite me having a 3.6 high school GPA and a solid ACT score) recommended all kinds of classes to me that didn't amount to anything. Mostly joke classes that teach things like how to study, the basic of the basic math and english classes, etc. that were super easy. I had to bull my way to get through, and I'm glad I did or I would have been there a long time lol. Pretty impressive degree set you have there. I would guess from your post that the advisors at your school tried a similar thing to you like I just mentioned lol.
