Why a college degree isn't worth what it once was - Jeff Spross, the Week

In this world, a college degree is essentially a "fire me last" sign. As rising inequality bumps less-educated people off the twig entirely, the college-educated fill the spots while graduate degrees get what the college-educated once did. So first incomes for high school graduates stagnate, then incomes for the college-educated stagnate too. And now only graduate incomes are still rising. http://theweek.com/articles/575139/why-college-degree-isnt-worth-what-once
