> college is just another victim of this. no one wants to tell a parent that their new born child is ugly and no one wants to live in a world where we can't all hope to be anything.

Yes, the three words that define the last 10 years (in this context) are: exceptional, entitled, and special. Many people are merely average.

The devaluation of vo-tech schools also contributes to the bubble. Much of the CS technical skill training (like configuring a router, network planning, etc) needs to moved to vocational technical schools. You don't need a 4-year masters degree (nor the student debt) to do basic design and troubleshooting.
