Degrees Now Mean Next To Nothing

It's a new development in society....that individuals think a academic pedigree means you're an authority/expert on 'a' subject.  

We've even reached a point where a 15-year old kid might be a better authority on hooking you up to a IV than  a nurse (depending upon your trust factor).. 

I was a part-time student (working through my Air Force years)....I'd do a class here there.  My thoughts were you were simply getting an edge on asking questions....gaining insight to pondering....improving your analysis skills.....developing a sense of logic, and getting some type of writing skill.

We passed some point in the 1990s where the whole experience was about getting some piece of paper at the end....then bluffing HR folks on your level of handling work/problems.
