But is that because there really are too many degreed workers (too much supply)?  Or did the people getting the degree change their mind about what they wanted to do?  I've known a few couple people who got a software engineering degree (as I did, in the same program I went through) who ended up doing something different later.  I have the impression, at least for a couple of them, that it was because software engineering/development actually wasn't what they wanted to do.  One of them specifically had gone on from the associates' program to get his bachelor's degree, but he spent years doing that, taking a class or two at a time. And one time, when he got to the senior-level classes, he told me he wasn't really interested in working on the senior project (where you basically get to choose your own thing to work on). It seemed to me he just wasn't interested in software development anymore and was lacking the motivation for it.
