e/Academic inflation

Information
has gloss	eng: Academic Inflation is a process of inflation of the minimum job requirement, resulting in an excess of college educated individuals with lower degrees (Associate and Bachelors Degrees) competing for too few jobs requiring these and even higher perferred qualifications. This condition causes an intensified race for higher qualification and education in a society where a bachelors degree today is no longer sufficient enough to gain employment in the same jobs that may have only required a two- or four-year degree in former years. Inflation has occurred in the minimum degree requirements for jobs, to the level of masters degrees, PhDs and post-doctoral, even where advanced degree knowledge is not absolutely necessary to perform the required job. Academic Inflation is similar to inflation of paper currencies where too much currency chases too few commodities.
