Some degrees are "worthless", yet are needed as a document to tick off on a list of job requirements.
Of course, the analogy is far from perfect; in fact, I didn't really intend an analogy, as such.
A degree obviously isn't a license token you can move from one person to another, like the taxi medallion.
But the medallion isn't an indicator that you're an expert professional driver. So it's different than, say, an M.D. or a law degree that are required because those things are difficult and the public needs protection from frauds.
