A degree isn’t necessary for good design. All it does is tell designers that they “know more” than everyone else without actually knowing more. It means that what they learned in their for-profit education center should go against what we, as regular human beings, see as pragmatic.
It’s about following bandwagon trends, not actually solving real problems.
Good design comes from experience and practicality, not theory. Bad designers don’t understand this, which is why we have so much shit design in the world.

I immediately think less of anyone with a design degree. Odds are they are making the world a worse place and are too stupid, ignorant, greedy, or complacent to realize it.

I have to really disagree. Someone went to school to do this; that’s cool. It is the companies that hire them that push stuff in this direction.
