Was the bachelor's degree worth it?

This jumping through hoops kept him from going to a temp to hire job that pays $13 an hour today. They are going to let him know in the morning if they still need someone for $13 hr job. The job market here is Raleigh is super tough and the process is well a little crazy. If Amazon offer him 12.50 for such a job I know my husband would jump on it so it irks me to hear someone whining about their job in this market and trying to make Amazon look bad in the process.
That's a terrible recommendation for a Bachelor's Degree. Those wage offers are devastating. Maybe have hubby go for a Master's Degree in Accounting. Then have him take civil service tests for government accounting jobs.

Once one gets stereotyped at the low end of the job market, there is little chance to ever escape.
