It is the same old problem...degrees...any degree from any university is NOT a guarantee or assurance of getting ANY kind of job on ANY terms. Period. Sure, an Oxford graduate may have it easier (in theory) than a graduate from a rural college, but it all ends up with who you know, who your parents are or what kind of affiliations can you boast...unless -perhaps, just perhaps- you graduate top 1% of your class that year.
People should know by now that fliers or statistics put forth by schools to attract customers are as biased and fake as national statistics on poverty, inflation, crime etc.
Every school looks the best, with the best tuition and the best employment scores...
The good thing about DE is that it allows one to get a degree at a great price by cutting all the unnecessary extras...the rest is down to chance and personal connections.
Start saving that way and invest what you didn't have to spend...in 20/30 years you are likely to have more than by chasing futile dreams of prestige at top-shelf schools charging mammoth prices...only to see the guy with the right armband, family name, skin color or sexual orientation get the job...
