This is gonna be a bit of a drive (and might even derail the thread) but I think people are becoming more and more aware that they are not merely competing with other Americans for jobs. They are competing with kids coming out of Xinhua University and the engineering schools in India. By global standards almost everyone in America is overpaid and the only thing that you can buy that offers any insulation from global equalization of pay is education.
Things might have been different in the past but these days it is very hard to get very far without a college degree unless you own your own business.
