Cast

gollark: Yes, I saw this.
gollark: Why do your pictures also include your roömmate? This is an obvious privacy violation.
gollark: I mean, the explanation I heard was more that degrees are more for signalling that you have some level of ability to do basic intellectual work, and do moderately hard things for long-term payoffs (and other such things) than giving people knowledge they need directly.
gollark: It is claimed that (here, at least) most employers don't particularly care which degree course you do (outside of a few things like engineering or medicine).
gollark: Although I think you also get less flexibility in doing multiple things, which is less nice.
