Hmmm, yes and no...
I tend to agree in part but then I look at how many people I know with degrees working well below their potentical. We all know of someone with a degree "temporarily" flipping burgers to make a living.

Honestly, if I had to give a young person advice on what to go to school for today, I have no idea what I would tell them. (It would not be computer science.)

Not to sound like chicken little, but is there a point with human beings where their very numbers ensures their ending as with other animals. Grazing animals often over populate to the point there isn't enough food to go around and the entire herd dies off. Can the same thing happen with humans? Scary thought huh???
