I think a degree is pointless other than it’s what the majors want right now. My guess is in a year or less everyone will be hiring at the same pace they were just a month ago if not more since we will be deeper into the retirement boom. 1000 PIC will be valued no more and no less than it was just a month ago as well. Also, not saying don’t get a degree, but financially it’s probably not a good idea to spend thousands of dollars at this point in time if you think there’s any chance of a lay-off or furlough.
