What drivel is this? The purpose of a college degree is to show to your peers that an academic institution is satisfied with your level of knowledge in a particular area. There are legitimate criticisms of the current university system (such as cost, political interference in teaching, irerelevant curriculums etc), but claiming that a college degree "demonstrates submissiveness" is utter horseshit. |

My peers are not the ones hiring me. By definition it is my superiors hiring me.
Seems like an exoensive way to demonstrate to my peers.
I think it is better to demonstrate by actually doing (building products, providing service, insightful writing, etc).
The fact remains that a person who stakes money into a multi-year process is signalling a few things:
- they have money/credit - they are time committed - they work mostly within the system - they acknowledge the authority/validity of the degree
