I still stand by the importance of a degree. In fact, you are proving my point. The only difference is you mention that the value of liberal arts degree is generally not worth much. I do agree with that. When I mentioned the importance of a degree, that doesn't go without some forethought. Pursue a field that will actually pay off (or just accept that you will probably be a teacher). Getting a degree that doesn't attract some sort of professional attention will be basically the same as not having a degree at all. However, having a marketable degree actually will do wonders for your career prospects, as well as being the only way that can actually happen.

Or you are a networking wiz, as I mentioned earlier.
