If you want to be a lawyer, you need a law degree.
A degree in business administration isn't "necessary" but it sure is super-helpful if you want to run a large business. If you want to be HIRED by someone else to run THEIR business, a degree would probably be required.
I wouldn't trust any school teacher that didn't have a degree.
A degree isn't necessary to become an elected official. But the education from attending a university or other higher learning institute would help a candidate open up their mind to new ideas, and I consider that a consideration, even though it's not a requisite.
And I don't trust some teachers who have degrees, there are some real doozies out there. I find many colleges don't open minds but close them, critical thinking is sorely lacking. Employers are looking for bright and INDUSTRIOUS employees who appear to be lacking currently.

I personally think unions are a double edged sword. Have they protected the US worker, often. Have the union leaders been the biggest winners, I believe so. Have they created messy issues with the workers, absolutely.

It was so funny when a relative went to work in a large industrial manufacturing organization and was told by fellow employees to slow down when working, we don't work that fast here. But the union dues are collected every paycheck and they aren't cheap.
