Umass boston was largely a joke. I do agree with that.

It’s mostly a time and money sink for a piece of paper unless you’re going into a profession that requires it… though you don’t usually need a degree, instead you need to pass various certifications. There’s even wacky exceptions like not needing a degree at all to take the BAR exam in Vermont.

Then there’s the hyper conservative colleges out there… I couldn’t tell you at all how those go but I wouldn’t assume very well.
