Degrees and "Degrees"
Degrees and "Degrees"
Is there such a thing as there being degrees (Which are useful and can be applied to a decent selection of vacancies) and:
"degrees" (Which might sound fancy but aren't useful in a lot of vacancies, could also be just to say you got a degree)
This is not to insult anyone who has been to a university and finished their course, but it's something I've been told long time ago by my previous work colleague who nearly became a lawyer, supposedly there are meme degrees as he puts it that look good on a CV but used in an interview is tripe.
What are your thoughts on this? Would you say that is complete nonsense? Or is there some truth to this?

I’m pretty sure there is a difference. I remember getting some money from the government in The Netherlands when you started a study, training, course, etc. In just a few months there were several companies offering training and courses for jobs that never had any certifications or requirements. It was abused a lot and as far as I know they dont’t offer it anymore (since last year).
