Reader comment on: Obama on College Graduates

Submitted by thomas (United States), Mar 15, 2011 11:09

For some reason now you need a Master's degree to do the same job that once only needed a BA, or even only a high school degree. Somehow that doesn't seem like an efficient use of resources or progress to me.

That same $50k - $100k + for tuition / debt may be better spent on starting a business or investing.
