    If you judge your degrees by how much people make after finishing, you’re going to have a bad time. And lots of MBA graduates.
    shudder

    Getting people qualified in things should be seen at a country level, and being able to support people reading subjects that don’t directly link to service is the sign of a prosperous country, imho.

    It’s become a bit chicken-and-egg, sadly. A degree-style course might not be the best way to teach a subject, but employers like the certification that you dedicated yourself for 2+years, so it has to be.
    And this seems to be one of the results of that.
