What I'm really concerned about is if this ends up sparking an arms race for more education for the sake of careers. A master's degree, depending on the subject and the institution, may not necessarily be the biggest time investment, but it's still a significant financial commitment. And where will this end? Will PhD's end up being necessary for the great recession of 2038?

The masters degree industry is already entirely propped up by unions and governments and other employes with formulaic hiring rules and pay scales.
