No, of course not. The point is, spending 200k on a BA degree that does not actually provide benefit just because everyone else does it is not a decision based on intelligent evaluation.
That is kind of what it has come to in the US. It may not be this way in other nations but here it is.
The only benefit a BA degree provides is a kind of crowd approval, which has benefit now, and is kind of like the equivalent of looking down on blacks and gays 75 years ago. It may not have been the right thing to do, but since everyone was doing it and you'd commit career suicide if you didn't play along, you'd have done it too.
Effectively, the emperor has no clothes.
STEM degrees are another matter, as are community colleges.
