Overproduction of elites is an interesting theory. If interested in a stat-based look the decline in "social returns" of education and inflation of uni degrees check out Bryan Caplans 'Case against education'

I think there is some real concern with regard to "credentialism," but in the circles that often advocate these critiques there is a narrow understanding of what education is, how it benefits, and how much the diminished social return is in part a function of a higher need for cognitive complexity. I am admittedly pretty far to the other side of the argument. See below for the receipts.

My good friend Dr. Natalie Smolenski has an alternative vison (now being implemented with blockchain technology that is being widely adopted). She basically did a dissertation on the topic and would probably have some very productive things to say about this. Starting with this older piece and reading forward might be of interest to you.
