Most conscientious universities make clear which degrees meet eventual state-guild-licensure degrees (=fitness for a particular purpose ).
Bottom line, as the degree mills' most favorite UK Parliament quote says, the fitness of a degree for a job is ultimately left to the prospective employer's judgement (barred of course professions/jobs needing further licensure/exams etc ): you can't obligate a prospective employer, irrespective of your degree.
But, do any legitimate school's websites say something like this? I'd think that in this litigious society, schools would include some kind of disclaimer to avoid lawsuits against students who received a degree, but then were not hired for one reason or another... Are there such disclaimers, or are these just at "mills?"
