99% of Americans' job prospects will wither on the vine without that all important college degree.

There is a terrific discussion on headhunter, Nick Corcodilos', blog about the need (or not) of having a college degree, Desperate; No Degree, Can't Get Interviews!

Getting the degree - getting the job.
