There's too many well educated people nowadays.
Even before the credit panty-bunch we were churning out more well educated people than ever before.
Too many wannabee chiefs, and no one wanting to accept 'lesser' jobs which collectively create, construct and maintain the infrastrucure of the society we all take for granted.
And let's face it; who is smarter..?? I live in a student city and asking one of these rucksack wearing twonks a complex question such as the time, causes them to melt down as their synapses overload. Great at disseminating the works of long dead literary geniuses, or rearranging mathematical algorithms so that they can prove E=MC_Hammer.

If the present oafs leaving our schools were required to undertake manual apprenticeships in areas that appealed to them (in terms of working at the top end of such jobs); then they could learn the trade, business, profession etc from the roots up..insane an idea as that sounds.
Might well be that with spending more time co-operating with other former bookworms they actually develop an affinity for a job which offers far less financial renumeration, but much more satisfaction for a productive days work.
Take them to Tenerife I say - assuming they can pack their bags unaided, be ripped from their technological necessities and actually *know* where Tenerife is (see Sophie BB).
We presently have the best educated, but cataclysmically thick/naieve/deluded/self absorbed young people in living memory/record.
As Marcus would say w**kers..!! The parents are 'blameless' of course..their Kevin/Tracey is 'special'..not like the other kids..
Anyone for tea and biscuits..?
So if you ever missed a week or two with flu, you're disadvantaged for life?
