Yup. Just because more people are getting degrees does not mean that there are enough jobs that require/compensate for having a degree.

But this apparently isn't changing anyone's behavior yet, so the education bubble continues to grow.

Are you saying that my degree in underwater basket weaving won't get me a job?

It's not that simple. Your degree in electrical engineering might not get you a job depending upon a number of factors, where once it was considered a sure thing.

I have a hard time believing that someone that averages a B in electrical engineering from any 1st or 2nd tier school can't get a well paying job somewhere in north america.

I have some anecdotal evidence to suggest otherwise, but that's somewhat irrelevant. Perhaps electrical engineering was a bad choice. A business degree then? Used to be a good path into middle and upper management, is now a requirement for stable office work (or so it seems to me).
