Haven't we been saying for a long time that a degree is not a sign of competence?

I think that’s to try to make those who didn’t get one feel better, but yes it’s a problem. I always shush myself when I see it.

I am a woman with a grad degree in CS. I left the field because I was BORED. The field was full of stuffy types who were only interested in money. It still is.
