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.

I am sorry to hear that. I have no idea what the background is so it is hard to say much more then that.
Not all degrees are created equal and what degrees are in need fluctuates based on the economy. So a degree that was hot 10, 20, 30 years ago could be worth little today. A degree that is hot today could mean little in five year. Once you have the degree, work experience tends to become more important.
Generally speaking, people with BA/BS are more likely to be employed and make a higher wage. This continues as you move up the degree chain.
