people who have multiple degrees

[Duneranger]

Loaded question/logical fallacy. Went to UMPI, got the degree ( I have a masters in the field but needed a BA to round out the teaching credential gap). and was largely disappointed in the education quality.  SO it bemuses me a bit when people are saying they are here for the love of learning when the degrees are catered to those wanting quick, cheap and easy.

While you found the education quality to be disappointing, everyone isn't going to share in that opinion. There were some classes at UMPI I learned a lot in and others I didn't learn anything. Same thing happened when I took classes on a campus and at other colleges online. When you have years of experience in a field, there tends not to be much book stuff to learn.

Of course, no one is going to claim their degree was lacking, people are going to defend their investment till the cows come home. I can't speak for the other degrees but when I got my in-person BA, the classes were ALL better quality than what I saw at UMPI (History and Political science). I cant speak for the other degrees.

I highly doubt most people getting this degree have extensive experience in the realm unless they work in law/politics or are an amateur historian.
