Yes, I'm not denying that. It is exploitation. The exploitation happens wherever there is demand and the demand is now in post secondary degrees.

As for wages, that's the market rate. We have to be competitive and if we cannot offer more salary than we offer perks, like healthcare, vacation, addition education etc..

But we can tell by the trends that every job we post, we get over qualified people. I called it 'breaking ties'. If you have hundreds of equal applicants, how do you break ties? You have to raise the bar higher and higher.

My first accounting job I ever got was during my 2nd year of my undergraduate degree over 20 years ago.I would not qualify for it today as full 4-year degrees now apply for that type of job. And soon, 4-year degrees will not be enough, you'll have to have experience, or promise more schooling, or rock the interview. As a candidate, you have to win tiebreakers.
