Ask any employer, and they'll tell you that a university educated hiree is, all else being equal, a much more valuable resource than someone with only a high school education not only in their ability to do the work from day one, but their ability to grow into the position.

Absolutely, but my point is, when there are as many people that have university degrees as there is today, it means that much less. A bachelors degree, on its own, is pretty well worthless today, where as in the past, it meant everything. What I deem as nonsense however, is starseed suggesting that we should do away with a class system.
