Engineering perhaps?
'the world is full of people who blame everything and everyone for their lack of progress.'
Well, I'm personally happy with my 'progress', but I can honestly say that I could have achieved the same thing without the 3 years of very costly 'training' at university.
'Almost any degree is invaluable.'
Hmmm. Stretching it there. I don't think you appreciate the debt that university students are saddled with and the opportunity cost of those 4 years not working. Added to the fact many end up working in a field totally unrelated to their degree as they chose their course at the young age of 17 or 18. Which would be fine if universities were more than sausage factories training kids for specific occupations and actually gave a broad based education and promoted original thought and learning.
'That's why many people with degrees are failures. '
Really? What is your criteria for success and how much do you think it matters to those you label failures?
I would be with you if university was a house of learning and independent thought for those with very high intellect. These days you need a degree to work in HR.
