  • The intent behind a American bachelor’s degree wasn’t just to provide a knowledge base in a given subject, but to also help train the student to be a leader. This is part of the reason why there are so many clubs and other organizations in college; you are supposed to be practicing to lead. It is also the reason why you take classes in a broader range of subjects, as there are additional skills you need as a leader that may not get taught in technical classes.

    If the degree doesn’t impart useful knowledge, you are still supposed to be taught these skills in college. A lot of colleges today have gotten worse on teaching this part to students as funding and rankings don’t really focus on teaching students how to be leaders, but this was the intent of college.













  • It depends on the person.

    I think they, for the majority of people, there is a rough number that could be derived from a standard of living they would want and not have to work. It isn’t a common number across people as people want different things.

    That said, there are some people for whom there isn’t a number to satisfy them. Wealth becomes a high score to measure against others. For them, there is no good enough.
