Partner has a STEM master's degree from a good university. I make the same amount in desktop support with no degree.

Dad has an MBA. Works on databases for a living.

Sister has Bachelor's in Industrial Design from a top design school in the US. Has worked for big name industry players. She make more money from her 1 year self-paced coding boot camp.

Most degrees are worthless these days, and it's high time we start demanding refunds. Cancel student debt. The promises made to us in highschool about career paths were blatantly false. Also, tax billionaires.
