Pp you quoted. My last point precisely said what you did regarding income inequality. I know that's a huge market signal in this country that tells everyone to go to college even if it might not be he most optimal course of action.

The reason why more jobs ask for masters degrees now a days is precisely because of the flooding of ug degrees. For most jobs it's just a way to reduce the number of applicants to a more manageable level.

Furthermore quality grad degrees are filled with good students from quality ug programs - flooding the ug system with more and more kids for whom college is not the best answer isn't going to increase the quality of grad students.

But yes, until we fix the wage disparity between "college educated" and the trades/blue collar work, parents and kids will do anything to go to college - even if it means crushing financial decisions that more and more might not pay off.[/quote]

How about, instead of adopting Europe's system where fewer kids go to college, instead we address the root causes of inequality in this country? [/quote]
