Degrees use to be a measure of self discipline. I see that the Occupation and Safety Act might declare an employer has acted illegally if he refuses a job to an applicant who has no degree or high school diploma. So, this is where degrees have gotten us. Back to square one and I know PHD\'s who are pumping gas now with no job or prospect of ever getting one. Our new entitlement government will provide for their needs through the sponsorship of wealth redistribution and class warfare.
I responded to a question of whether the internet should be government controlled. The threat is real, look at this posting, it requires a censorship test.
