The value of a Bachelor's Degree has been so debased that is only valued as the vehicle that places you in your graduate specialty program. All to to the tune of a minimum of $20,000 per year. It costs significantly more to qualify to be exploited and underpaid.
It s not the Millennials that are the problem, but the greed and selfishness of the Boomers who run things now.
