Today's bachelor program is the high school of yesteryear. Not optional anymore - and it's the complexity of life which makes you study till you're 22 - when some century ago in 16 you not only learned all you need to learn by studying, you'd already have some serious experience.

Why now, in 2014, one with a B.S. makes about as much despite all that knowledge escapes me as well.
