It all feels like a market signaling problem. When people are choosing majors and how far to go in school, they don't seem to have the right information. Lack of understanding of the marketability of different degrees surely harms the students/future workers, but would seem to be in the interest of certain employers who benefit from the glut of overqualified workers. Of course, oversupply in one sector is likely accompanied by undersupply in others.
