As I surfed the internet last week, I came across an interesting article on Wikipedia about academic inflation. It is a phenomenon that we could have observed over the last 10 years, but for which I had no way to call it by name; academic inflation is an inflation process of minimum requirements as a result of too many college education individuals compete over too few jobs requiring these qualifications. As a result, minimum qualifications for the same jobs are increased, requiring a higher form of education in order to obtain the job.
