Besides, a BS in BS comes with a considerable price tag attached in most cases. It is only natural to rebel against a faulty system.
I'm really not sure where this idea, shared by many on here, comes from? Unless it's exclusively held by people who don't have a degree and use it as some poor excuse. I'm curious as to what evidence you have that the quality of higher education has gone "down the drain"?
The other thing that blows me away is the complaint about cost, you can easily get a BS degree at a pretty good state school for the price of a car. I hear less complaints that a diesel pickup costs $60,000 than the costs of a college degree that can give you a return on your investment.
