> Education doesn’t have this kind of contagion.

It's never been more true that education is overpriced and underdelivers.

The contagion may not be "house goes bust and my house value goes down"... but there is a contagion: My degree is now no better than the degrees for the mills pumping out idiots while lowering standards and full of soft degrees filling the markets with "educated" people that aren't qualified to fill a coffee cup at starbucks.

If you don't see a market flooded with lower value results as devaluing the worth of higher education then you're not looking closely enough.
