There are plenty of degrees that in Latin mean, "Now I have to go to grad school." Even some practical degrees requires a masters for the better jobs and decent pay.

When I came out of college companies like IBM, Burroughs, NCR, Xeroox, etc. were big interviews. In the campus cattle calls (first interview) the first aurstion was "what's your major?" It had to be business or math related or sayonara. The second question was gpa. It had to be at least a 3.0.

i told my kids a 3.0 is the average grade in college now. If they want to stand out they need a 3.5 or better. They both did it. My daughter had to work at a prestigious law firm for two years and build contacts to get accepted to an Ivy law school. Ivies look down their noses at most southern educations.
