IQ tests are illegal for civilian employers to use in the US.
For a time, a college degree was an effective proxy.
Admission standards have lowered, so this is no longer effective.
Now, employers tend only to value degrees for STEM majors, because those are the only ones left that are effective proxies for IQ tests.
Many didn't understand that a degree itself wasn't the golden ticket.
So, easy majors were an easy sale to the naive, and a bubble was created.
The combination of feminism and excessive student loans largely contributed to the inflation of this bubble.
Not politically correct to say it, but the majority of worthless degrees and student debt (especially relative to income) is held by women.
This gender disparity (the debt gap) will increase.
Eventually, a clever politician will push for student loan forgiveness to secure the women's vote.
The earners will be stuck with the bill.
