True statement. It seems the trend now days is "get a grad degree, foot the bill and time yourself". Many companies I see and work with tend towards that mentality, as opposed to building a base of highly skilled workers on from the inside. It's easier and cheaper for a company to ask if you have a piece of paper, than for them to train you and get you up to speed.
