An education is invaluable and I never said otherwise. I haven't been successful without knowing very well what I do. But you can get an education anywhere, anytime - you can only get a degree by paying for university. Whether dksuddeth's friend has an education that could provide him a job is not the issue. And whether dksuddeth's friend has a degree that claims he has an education is even less relevant.

If my job gets 'off-shored' I don't expect anyone to rescue me. In fact they are trying to 'offshore' my job to some extent, I view it as a challange and I need to improve my product in such a way as to make the 'offshore' prodcut less desireable than my own. The consumer wins.

Rescuing is not the issue (though I'm sure we'd disagree on that one as well) - we're talking about intentionally destablizing your job security in order to specifically benefit a corporations profit. And as we've seen over the past 4 years, coming out the recession, corporations have significantly increased profit while job availability has barely moved.
