This article make some very interesting points, but I think it speaks a little too broadly at points. It does not sound like there is an overall education bubble, but rather a bubble in liberal arts education and particularly liberal arts education from lower tiered schools.
Even the article points out that engineering majors, especially those from highly ranked schools are doing quite well and that does not appear to be changing. Even on his point in signalling, it may be that having "a degree" will come to mean less and less, but it is unlikely that having "a degree from Harvard (or other prestigious school)" will mean less anytime soon.
