Yes, and a product of that is the value-less piece of paper degrees that kids go broke paying for just because it's a bare minimum an employer looks for these days. Often times, just having the university degree means nothing at all since a communications or liberal arts degree doesn't translate to skills an employer looks for.
In the past and when university degrees were uncommon and prestigious, a bachelors degree signified someone had demonstrated the ability to study, commit, and work hard for 4 years to achieve something and that would be reflected in their ability to work for an employer.
Now universities are paper mills, taking in tens of thousands in tuition but having a logical disconnect with industry which makes young students feel disconnected and rudderless when going into the job market.
