New poll shows that majority of Americans now think college isn't worth the cost

This is true. I got my BS in IT and now I'm unemployed.
I had an IT job that pays over $75k a year.
I tried to get another IT job after getting a BS in IT degree but it turns out the degree on my resume makes me look more stupid and less sophisticated. Now, no one wants to hire me for any IT role.

If you get a degree from less known university, you'll get a worse reputation.

So leave it off your resume.  Nobody knows you have a degree unless you announce it.

Also, I do not think an IT degree from a less known university is a negative.  I think it's more about you than the degree.
