I really think all university students should be given a simple lesson on the decreasing value of a degree. A cheap and easily affordable education means increased enrollment and graduation, further diluting the workforce with degrees. A degree now is what a high school education was 40 years ago, and it seems post grad work is now the new standard for separating yourself from the masses. Something is valuable because of its rarity, and the inability of grads, particularly those with liberal arts degrees, to gain meaningful employment is a result of the decreasing value of a degree.
