The following statistics count the unemployed Harvard MBAs three months after graduation (excluding employer sponsored MBAs and start-up founders etc).
I have been saying this for more than a decade, the mother of all bubbles for past half century or more has been the education bubble, enabling bloated administrative bodies, college campuses that look like Mar-a-Lago, overpaid basketball coaches, fat tenured professors, army of support staffs all milking the cash cow to the last penny, all for certificates worth not a toilet paper.
Seems like the bubble is bursting at last...I mean I know many community colleges are struggling, but when Harvard MBA cohorts feel the pinch, that points to a generational shift somewhere. What do ya guys think?

Some still value having the piece of paper achievement hanging up on their wall. I don't know why though TBH

For some majors sure others are still important and have value

That's what bubbles bursting are doing: reallocating the wasted resources to other areas and focusing on the parts that still work.

You are spot on. Question is how long will it take for the masses to catch on and what will those schools do with their massive endowments...

Harvard, and the other elite institutions, will always be able to find the 40k or so students they usually have. It's finishing school for the elites.
The margins that will move most are smaller community colleges and state schools.

Overproduction of elites

College enrollments have been declining for a decade and this year Trump pulled the grant funding rug out from under them. Nest they need to pull the student loan rug.
It'll be fascinating to watch
