Doesn't matter, if you can get any kind of software development certificate, you're more intelligent than most people.

Where I'm from, there is alway an over-saturation in certain fields, even if we talk solid degrees.
Economics and law always have way too many students.
And then to make it even worse, they take easier economics classes and very few go for accounting.

Apprenticeships are way more needed nowdays.
Electricians make a ton of money without having to do any of the dirty work.

See, this is why I've always been of the opinion that rather than offering universal free college what we should be doing is every few years surveying the country to determine what skill sets are lacking and then offer free tuition to anybody who completes a program in one of those areas, which would include things like trade schools and apprenticeships.

If somebody wants to get a degree in a field that is already saturated they are welcome to, but at that point it's a luxury not a necessity and they can pay out of pocket.

This way, we are actually investing in our populace in a way that isn't just lip service, but specifically in a way that will guarantee returns for society.
