I'm not really suggesting that the minor degree is going to be valuable, but that the specific stuff he'll learn in those classes he list is worth knowing for the tough job market he's about to enter.
Well let's just use Jake's situation as an example. I'm pretty sure the $2-3K he's proposing on spending on furthering his education is going to pay off over his lifetime via wages, but apparently you know something I don't?
