life is tough and competition exists, but a good degree will only insure you're place in life. a degree shows an employer that you are disciplined enough and have good work ethics.

imagine i am an employer. i wanna hire a good worker. i now ask the guy, are you a good worker? if he says no, he doesn't get the job, but if he lies, he gets it. so he will lie. and i get stuck with a bad worker. so how do i filter out the idiots? i ask, can you at least get through school? if so, prove it.

so if there are so many applicants for jobs as you claim, then it would make sense that the employer would choose the most qualified. so having a degree gives you an edge on your peers. the idea of being too qualified doesn't exist anymore, people are settling for lower salaries. i can't think of one instance where having a degree is not beneficial. not to mention you get to go away to school, meet people, party, etc...
Overqualification happens all the time, it happened twice to a friend of mine who had a master's and was a history teacher. And nobody suggested to Matt to become a doctor or professor.



And are you really being stupid enough to say that idiots won't get through school, and that if someone does get through they're not?!?!?! If so you have one hell of an awakening coming your way.
