i agree with a lot of the facts, ideas and arguments presented, but i disagree with some of the conclusions.

a bachelor's is not overrated. the technical and vocational schools are underrated, and american society has put a bit too much pressure on students either continuing to a 4-year university or jumping straight into work, totally ignoring the other options.

because of that, substandard schools and garbage degrees have come in to fill the gap, babying people through a bachelor's degree as long as they're willing to pay, giving them a feel-good degree that is almost worthless in a competent workplace.

imo, the solution is to make the 2 year degree a more standard educational choice, removing the stigma associated with it.
