Yeah, it's a sad commentary on our nation but nonetheless it's true. It's especially surprising though in the military because a degree can often get you promoted to the next rank (read: $$$$) and/or qualify you to become an officer or warrant officer (again, read: $$$$$$$). And, oh BTW that's FREE money since you don't have to pay for CLEP, DSST or ECE in the military.
