Many Americans no longer believe that colleges produce enough benefits worth the time, money, and effort to receive a degree, according to a new survey of 1,200 registered voters.

The Overton Insights poll asked respondents if they thought a bachelor’s degree today was worth the cost.

Only 14 percent of poll respondents gave an unequivocal yes, while 43 percent said yes but only for specific degrees (such as doctors, lawyers, etc.). Another 38 percent said no.

However, 67 percent of respondents still hold the belief that a college degree is important for someone to succeed in their career today. Only 30 percent said it was not important.

Requirement for a bachelor's degree is a legal way to disriminate against 'those people' - less educated, poor people - deplorables.

Without a graduate degree, a bachelor's degree is just a foot in the door to the HR office so your resume can be put in the 'circular file'.

Who can't afford to waste tens of thousand of dollars and four years to be told that the job you want now requires a Master's Degree?

Would you like fries with that?
