Value of University Degree Continues To Decline (www.cbc.ca)

BarbaraHudson writes: Following up from an earlier report from Statistics Canada (pdf), the Parliamentary Budget Officer warns that an increasing number of university graduates are overqualified for their jobs. The CBC reports: "Last year, 40 per cent of university graduates aged 25-34 were overqualified for their job. Five years ago, that percentage was only 36 per cent. In 1991, it hit a low of 32 per cent, or less than one out of every three university graduates. The problem is bigger than that, because those young workers spent money, time, and resources to get those qualifications.

Women are already graduating college more than men, as well as receiving more scholarship opportunities than men. As for minorities, the standards are much lower for entrance than whites. And gays have a huge support network on campuses that white males don't have (no, fraternities are not a support network)
How much more skewed against straight white males can we get?
