The answer is "No" for the vast majority of jobs. There is no degree for what I do and most degrees that a company would want don't make sense anyway.

From the post:

>Wyoming is one of many states that embraced a campaign to encourage more people to enroll in higher education. Some leaders and students wonder if they reached a limit. On the outskirts of Wyoming’s capital, two advertisements about a minute apart offered starkly different paths. A nonprofit group’s billboard promoted a way to earn money for college. The other, from Walmart, dangled pay exceeding $30 an hour. The dueling choices underscored a fundamental tension for the nation’s teenagers and adults alike, one that has become vivid in the Trump era: Is college something all Americans need?

Education is priceless and never ever let a jew convince you it's not.

Always strive for excellence.

Agreed, only as long as we're talking about ACTUAL education that provides someone with skills that they can use to enter their lives/earn money. If "education" includes liberal bullshit like gender studies, feminist dance theory or anything that contains the words "colonialism" or "patriarchy", then no, it is not needed at all.
