Knowledge or degree?

When a student passes his college,he reaches the pinnacle of his life in which he has to decide his career which leads him to accomplish his desired goals through education. 

But sadly in our country education has become a mere "word".People are more towards getting their degrees rather than focusing on what they are learning.so that they can get better jobs but they are unaware of the consequences.What will be the benefit of degree if you have less knowledge about the preferred field? Is education means to hold degrees? 

In other case I can quote an example of a close relative of mine,who is just studying science subjects because she wants to pursue a degree in Bsc.Although she is not fascinated by the subjects she is studying.The reason behind this mess is that she is curious about what people will think of her if she chooses field other then science .
