I hear a lot of talk about how some degrees are completely worthless nowadays, and I'm just like "well why would you pick them then?"

Because teenagers generally don't know what they want to do with the rest of their lives, and they're really bad at judging which degrees will actually matter and which ones will doom them to working at McDonalds. They also have unrealistic belief in their own potential - "Sure, 99% of people who get this degree wind up unemployed, but -I'm- going to be the exception!"

Its almost like education for the sake of is still a net positive to people who dont need to have a specific reason to engage in higher learning.

That hasn't been true for decades!
