a college degree means you have "exceptional ability." as long as exceptional is defined as top 1/4 of entire popn.
~~ of all students go to college & ~~ 1/2 of those get a degree
you can calculate what different degrees mean in terms of "ability" - say EE vs. fine arts with a pottery concentration
... not that there is anything wrong with that!
a college degree is not designed to train you to do anything in particular - it is designed to educate you broadly so you will be versatile and can pick up on different careers quickly
and many people can self-educate anyway (in the liberal arts & fine arts especially)
