You can be a soldier without ant college education (and qualify for a direct path to Officer Candidate School with a two-year degree or equivalent credits, IIRC), so giving “soldier” as on option with 4-year English degree is literally suggesting that it is worth the same as no college education at all.

You can only enlist without a degree. With a college education you can be an officer. In that case, the degree would almost certainly be worth it.

That's what I'm saying though - most degrees aren't career-specific, and most careers don't need a specific degree, or any degree at all as you say.
