This page is the result of a merger of Academic inflation, Educational inflation, Credential creep, Credential inflation and Credentialism per Talk:Grade inflation. Joshua Jonathan  -  Let's talk!   06:49, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Akward phrasing in "Credential inflation or degree inflation"
I found this in the "Credential inflation or degree inflation" section under subheadings "indications." This is akward since we are in 2015 now and I assume these estimates are accessible. The estimates were for the year 2005, it's now 2015.

"A predictable result of credential inflation is a glut of the credential markets and overschooling. It is estimated that 30 percent of the college graduates in 2005 will be forced into jobs that do not require a degree.[32] M.B.A. or M.A. holders may end up working as store clerks or servers." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.104.172 (talk) 03:21, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Why no article on credentialism? dead link?
what happened to the article on credentialism? There's a dead link at the bottom of the present article that is CRYING OUT for an article to go to. Thanks! 50.4.132.185 (talk) 01:37, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Circular reference
Anyone else notice the reference ''Nilsson, Henrik (n.d.). "Professionalism, Lecture 5, What is a Profession?" (PDF). University of Nottingham. '' for the definition of "profession" cites the Wikipedia as a source? Seems rather useless, especially given that they cite another source, '''Frank Bott. Professional Issues in Information Technology. Chapters 2-3.'''

If I can locate that source and the relevant text, I may update this article, thank you C. L. Marquette (talk) 02:42, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
