And this hurts the people they're trying to help. If you devalue highschool to the point you need another 4 years to prove you have the basics, anyone who's doesn't the privileged to wait that extra 4 years is that much more screwed.

Perhaps devaluation explains the trend towards requiring ever-higher degrees (Masters and PhD) in jobs that once were satisfied with a Bachelors.

There's no point to making college compulsory if the banks can't get rich off student loans.
