Reminds me of an interview I sat in on in Cambridge a few years back.

Manager: "So, why should we hire you?"

Guy: "I have a Masters in CS from [University next door]"

Manager: "You and everyone else in this town. So, why should we hire you?"

Manager: We like you, but unfortunately you are underqualified for the position.

Job applicant: Underqualified? But I have a Master's degree!

Manager: Yes, but all of our other baristas have Ph.D.'s.

Well, that shows how much of an over supply of labor there is.
