<prompt> Human: Frequently we see posts to this sub from people in huge debt after earning a degree in a low paying field. Today I ran across this Youtube video titled Bachelors Degrees: Ending the Addiction and I think it presents a very solid basis for the discussion about choosing the right degree or study program. It demonstrates that there are some associate degrees, and even apprenticeships, that generate more income than other bachelors.  <response>: It depends on so much. It doesnt help that a degree is practically required either for just getting into a company or advancing in the company. Plus, Ive got a front row seat to someone failing at securing their grades in a trade school, so Im really not sure even trade school is right for everyone.It doesnt help that many Bachelors degrees are only useful when paired with a specific graduate degree.
