I put a quote from a renown person from my place, to put some facts into perspective:
"When you graduate with a science degree, what can you do? Wash test tubes." [read: Bachelors degree]
edit: [MENTION=6823]Polantaris[/MENTION]; I know the US perspective, because I've been following up fairly closely on jobs for my field around the world etc. (even though I don't need to because I'm a lucky guy). It is very much what you said in your previous post that makes me upset: because it's true, and amazingly not uncommon at all.
To go a step further, we need to ask what's the relevance of education (or its purpose) should be given the context of the above quote. It's not 100% true, but in STEM fields I'm afraid it is.
