I know that my degree was outdated five years after I graduated. My degree was in Computer Science. Had I entered the field immediately upon graduation, my experience in the field would have kept me up to date. I am fairly certain that I could not land a job today in that field with nothing but the degree I earned those years ago.


I suppose that a degree in something less perishable (I did say few degrees), such as World History, might not suffer the same devaluation. But I believe most fields are moving along, and a recent degree is more valuable than one earned many years ago.
