Its stupid to think yku can graduate at 22 to 34 years old with a degree and think that degree means you are competent. A masters or PhD 22 to 25 yo means you demonstrates the ability to regurgitate useless shit. You are really no better prepared to flip burgers than the average h.s. graduate. Difference is you have an inflated view of your intelligence. Smart companies are seeing experience, drive, innovation and the ability to grind it out are way more valuable.
The "you" you speak of is NOT me. At 76, I know what I know from sometimes harsh experience. My last 10 years of work (ended 2005) saw me at the top of my trade in equipment repair, also dealing with managers with no real experience in running a shop that maintains the money making equipment. Thus my contempt... J/S
For many majors this is indeed the case; however, certain practical fields such as engineering, accounting, and nursing really do teach their graduates useful skills. I grew a lot as both a person and a student during my time in engineering school. But I agree that real work experience still trumps everything else. A diploma is just a fancy piece of paper until you can demonstrate that you can work well in the real world.
15 percent was for an actual heart surgeon or neural surgeon stuff like that. Hands on shit which nursing very much is. We have 3 in the family and they all have a foot out the door.
And the MBA grads have changed it to Master of Business Assassination...?

They have undervalued the kind of work you do for years and pushed young people into mindless shit.
There is nothing better than to build and fix shit with your hands.
