I’m not surprised …

… Why College Degrees Are Losing Their Value - Foundation for Economic Education.

Earning a college degree is more of a validation process than a skill-building process. Employers desire workers that are not only intelligent but also compliant and punctual. The premise of the signaling model seems to be validated by the fact that many graduates are not using their degrees. In fact, in 2013; only 27 percent of graduates had a job related to their major.

I’ve had other jobs from time to time, but most of what I’ve done since leaving college has been related to my major. Also, today’s credentialed somtimes don’t strike me as especially well educated
