Hello everyone,
So I just came back from a school district expo for my teen. Two programs were added because of the world changing. They added a tech academy program. I feel they took a long time to add that. However, it made me think of the Career Cluster courses they take to explore careers. I began wondering if University degrees are valued anymore.
I went out to celebrate my birthday with a friend yesterday and we were discussing this degree value. She made me thin about it because its been difficult to get hired with a Masters degree nowadays. People don't want to train anymore and look for people with experience or, they tend to hiire kids with high school diploma to extend their career. It really stinks but I have learned and developed so many skills here. I have hope and faith that I'll end up doing something valuable to these days.
However, what do you all think about the value on degrees?
