I'm not American here - because "cushy" jobs require degrees. Any of them, but you need to have them. And because those jobs are often your bland office ones, they don't really require a lot of training/skill, so you're free to do them even if you were an below-average student at a bad major.
All that matters in paper.
(I'm not condoning it, in opposite - but that's a common line of thought)
If one just needs a paper, not education, there are plenty of degree mills that will grant a degree at half the price and 10% time commitment.
