I never thought of secondary education as a possible realm for a "bubble". But consider what a bubble is - a market overvaluing some asset. We as a society have definitely overvalued the college degree - particularly with the "studies" (Women's studies, religious studies, african american studies, the college I am a professor at even has Scandinavian Studies). I have yet to think even once, "Hmm who could solve this difficult problem - say the energy crisis, or the oil spill in the gulf, safer cars, etc - Ah yes, it calls for the powerful capabilities of a gender studies major."
