I think college degree still matters. Yes it is digital age but it doesn't mean technology can make all the job. We have to go to college, have a degree and get a job

Well my take is it depends. It depends on a few things. 1. What kind of jobs are we talking about here? 2. Can the skillset for the job be trained in a span of 3 months compared to 4 years of education 3. What kind of educational system does a country offer?

In my place its crazy that a cashier entales a degree for you to be good or even qualify to be one. I dont have anything againts cashiers, I respect any position, but I dont think you should have a college degree to qualify for it (the ROI does not make any sense to me)because the skillset required can be easily acquired.

Good point. But, generally speaking, I think it still matters. Having a credential that can boost your qualifications is never a bad thing. Also, even if you get in a career that wouldn't require a degree, it's never too bad to have knowledge because one way or another, you would use it somewhere or something. There are so many degrees that can equip you better in this digital age that you could use to earn money, if not, help you with life tasks that you may encounter on a daily basis. I believe that knowledge is power!
