It concerns me that, for this reason, my degree might be worth 'less' a few years/decades down the line than it is now. In the UK, a lot of job positions ask for a 2.i minimum. I have a 2.i from a a very good university, and I'm personally proud of it, but in a few years time I fully expect to see jobs asking for a 1st minimum become the norm, in which case my CV will be filtered out by default at the HR level, which is frustrating. A similar problem for people who didn't go to university is the new A* grade added to the A-level system. When I did my A-levels, the top grade was A. In a few years time, people will probably forget this, and will then see normal A grades as somewhat 'lesser'. I can only see grade/credential inflation getting worse in future.
