It's a special thing that I personally know many people who went to Dordt University simply because my husband (who is Latino) was a Dutch Reformed pastor, lol. I like your last line, and I have often asked if the values represented by my college degree are what prospective employers see. Do we both value it for the same things? And what should a college degree represent if it no longer really equates with a true work ethic and commitment? I believe in the trades as well as the importance of a liberal education (the Johnnie way). But is having both a necessity for all? I am trying to figure that out for my kids. The girls love their liberal education, and my boys not so much.
Another clever (and related, IMHO) point in that commercial is when the interviewer reveals his degree is in "Dance", it emphasizes the foolishness of many employers who truly "dance" around the college degree game. I thought that a witty jab at the job market.

I think it’s very funny and the acting is quite good.
