John: You can trust me when I say that Atlantis is buried deep in the Atlantic Ocean because I have a degree in Ancient History.
Mark: But what about that thing by Bright Insight that proves it's in Mauritania right where it's supposed to be, with the first king being King Atlas, Atlas Mountains, and the thing looks absolutely identical to how Plato described it?
John: I have a degree and therefore you can trust that Bright Insight is wrong!

An academic title conferred by universities and colleges as an indication of the completion of a course of study, or as an honorary recognition of achievement.
Or more honestly, something that you have to get in order to get a decent job. While most schools confer degrees, there is a new class of ttt schools, mostly online like University of Phoenix and Walden University, that basically sell degrees. While not technically a diploma mill, these new schools have such weak standards that US News and World Report doesn't even bother to rank them. So as long as you stick to a real college, UCLA, Harvard, Duke University, Texas A&M University, University of Miami, University of Michigan... (you know, real schools), your degree should be worth something.

Get the Degree Collector mug.In Britney Spears's song '3' the lyrics "Got one eighty degrees" refers to 180 degrees meaning two opposites or in front and behind "her". She is "caught in between" or sandwiched as in spit roast.
