It's getting to where a degree is almost meaningless. Ever since the whole "self esteem" movement took root, people get passed along no matter how poorly they perform- just so they won't feel bad... It's the old "everybody gets a trophy" syndrome. Employers are becoming suspicious of college grads.
Like my friend Tom Bertonneau learned doing ed studies- nobody can write. Learn to write well and you'll be heads and shoulders above other applicants for jobs... and thanks, I'm happy I made your day!
