We often hear that college degrees are useless and that students are learning subjects that are equivalent to majoring in basket weaving rather than marketable skills to help them succeed in a competitive economy.

Recently, it seems like more and more people are asking if college is actually worth the cost and effort, with 56 percent of Americans agreeing that a four-year degree is not worth the cost.
