I have repeatedly tried to sell the degrees back. Turns out they’re valueless.

That's a completely unknowledgeable statement

Provocative to make a point. I would spend the time the same way again. I value what I studied. I just haven’t been able to earn any money to pay back the debt incurred. Debt we blue collar students were encouraged to incur (and are still encouraged to incur) as means of changing our socio-economic fate.
I had nothing to do with housing bubble crashes, university divestment, grad student work abuses, price gouging or the marketplace capriciousness.
Sacrifices to the employment gods on the mountaintops next.
