This is the first entry which is very much pro degrees. I was hoping we'd get a nice variety. 😊

Would I be right in guessing that you are in the Philippines? I notice many of the arguments are balanced towards the way certain country's systems work. What you describe here, with the need for degrees for nearly every type of job, seems to very much create a divide between those who can afford advanced education and those who can't, keeping an elitism well in place. It would allow for little chance for those in poverty to be able to raise themselves out of it, which I find sad.
