How easy is it to find a job with a degree from Big 3?

If I was giving advice to a young person (even my own kids), I would not advise them to go to one of the Big 3, for many reasons, including the one you are asking about.  Many people beginning their life don't know what they want to do, so there is not a huge rush to get just any degree; I'd rather they spend time taking courses, investigating majors/jobs, working, volunteering, etc.

For anyone else, especially if you need a check-the-box degree, I would highly recommend the Big 3, WGU, and a few others.  Get it done as quickly and cheaply as possible.

Sure, except that most of us don't have the cash to send our kids to a state school costing $20k/year much less private college at 3 times that, just to let them take courses and figure things out. That worked when I was in college 25 years ago, but not now. 

Maybe my kids is weird but she's a super motivated homeschooler. She wants her bachelors out of the way so she can do the real fun stuff of a masters and PhD. Big 3 is great path for her. Her chosen field requires a masters so she won't have to worry about networking until that level anyway.

Not only that we are seeing the sob stories of so many young adults graduating with a boatload of debt and no job.  The degree doesn't guarantee anything no matter where you went to school.
