My take (from Jan 2022): Is the US higher education bubble about to burst?
There appears to be a growing skill-mismatch between
the degrees pursued by students and those actually sought by employers.
Additionally, U.S. productivity growth has remained subdued even as the share
of workers with college degrees has risen. Various structural factors have also
affected the returns to college education in recent decades.
The sustained high demand for college education
resulting from misaligned incentives, misguided policies and societal pressures
has led to a U.S. higher education sector that is characterized by runaway
expenses, administrative bloat and less-than-ideal admissions policies. It may
be time to burst the higher education bubble.
