Is a bachelors degree even worth anything in 2021? 2031?

No. No degree is worth it anymore. Professional careers are dead due to unprecedented imports of third worlders depressing wages.

Basically if you come from a poor family your best bet is to apply for small scale business grants. Godspeed OP.

op you're going to get shit advice in this thread that degrees are worthless but the reality is that the average humanities graduate gets paid roughly $1,000,000 more over their lifetime than the average high school graduate. there is a notable pay bump that comes with getting a degree.

but obviously the common advice to get into a trade is also very good, not if better. if you find trades interesting then do that

Yeah I want to break their into environmental management, not confident about doing that without a degree, even with a bunch of certifications and experience. Ran the math to finish paying off with reasonable current pay will take 7 years to pay off and get back into the green. I’m oldfag so there’s finishing returns because I’m not using the bachelors degree as long.

Correlation, not causation. People that don't go to college are on average much dumber than people that do. To not get into college nowadays means you are probably bottom 20% of intelligence.
Let's say you are smart enough to get into a good college you would probably be more successful going into a different thing altogether

Yes but the degree of value (no pun) depends on where you want to go in life.
Want to be a researcher? Won't cut it
First world maritime surgeon? Sorry
Marketing manager? Well ok
What can be virtually guaranteed is that without you will be stuck in trash jobs for most of your professional life. Beyond that, you do actually learn useful things despite the usual gripes about curricula.

It's not worth what they're charging for it.

Just save up money working 60+ hours for five years and then buy a small homestead and live off of the land as much as you can. You'll be much better off that way.

It really depends on what the degree is on and what you do during your stay at uni. Just completing your credits certainly isn't worth much.

Yes but only if you're getting 1st degree honours level or whatever your country's equivalent is. Anything less and yeah its worthless. If you are getting less than that then apply for experience at businesses and do work for free.

Same. I can't believe that bio degrees are so worthless. I blame the biotechnology rush, people thought that was the next computer science but its not.
The next computer science is bioinformatics which is a usually a masters not a bachelors. I'm doing a masters in bio with a focus on bioinformatics and systems biology. Hopefully that will make me employable especially because I know how to code now.

that's not the reason. You should be blaming medicine. Every tom, dick, and stacy goes into bio as a "premed", gets filtered, and are stuck with a useless degree, oversaturating the field.

That's only true for America and the anglo countries where medicine is a masters degree or a phd type degree.
In other countries its a bachelors and masters both. But even there I guess people study bio so they can be considered for medicine later because they didn't have the grades to get in on merit.

A degree only matters if you're in law or medical school. The rest doesn't tell an employer anything except how long you can stick to something, and the nature of work is starting to become episodic in part due to automation.

It's worth it, but you have to be reasonable with how much you are willing to spend on it. The truth is that no one should pay to attend private schools. And really, to keep costs down even lower, everyone should do the 2+2 method and spend two years at a local community college and then only doing the last two years of college at whatever is the best public university in your state that you can get in. Really people don't have to spend nearly as much on college as they think they do. Just stay within whatever state you have residency, do community college first, and stick to public and stay away from private education. You want the degree, but as little debt as possible. Also work in a part time job while you attend school, because having a degree with no work experience is just a bad idea. And also be sure to have a driver's license and car before you graduate as well because that really helps with employment and independence.
