Not you. All the people posting with a shrug saying it’s just a piece of paper that doesn’t mean/do much except help getting a job. Like there’s no useful information there they can’t learn all by themselves & that they have the personal discipline of a 4 year dedicated college curriculum in conjunction with using AI to complete everything.
The article is really discussing bachelor degrees, and this is mostly true for those. Masters and doctorate degrees (or med school or law school, etc) are where specialized learning that actually sets you up for specialized roles happens.
The pre-med student who stopped after getting their bachelor’s is not meaningfully better prepared to be your doctor or psychologist than someone with no degree. You wouldn’t trust either one.
