I think there's an inflationary effect where so many people go to university that a regular degree is devalued. It leads to people who wouldn't otherwise do postgraduate study to do some to be as competitive as an undergrad degree was years ago. I see people sleep walking into postgrad study because they don't know what to do after graduation because an undergrad degree is so limited nowadays
