Just a Degree has no value.

A Bachelor's in, say, engineering will get you a good job.
A Master's in, say, women's studies is valueless.

I've known too many people who fell for the "any degree is better than no
degree" B.S. and ended up getting a valueless degree and lots of student loan
debt.

When I was in high school, even back then, the information to do a cost/benefit
analysis on a college degree was easily available.  It's even easier today wtih
the Internet.  It was simple for me to see how much my B.S. in Computer Science
would cost and simple to see what the starting salaries would be.

The simple fact that we have so many people who **didn't** so that simple check
before doing to college and taking out those student loans is very telling.
