It's interesting that this piece comes right after The Ph.D. Problem which was posted yesterday (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=916850 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=916850).
In that piece, the author points out how graduate studies have gotten longer and we are producing more graduates, but there are fewer positions and they are getting less non-academic experience. Essentially, more Ph.D.s is a problem in itself.
I'm not sure how that might translate to 4-year degrees though.
