I can do better than that. The labour market is so hot right now that universities are having trouble helping students finish their undergraduate degrees and actually graduate. That's definitely the case in the information technology field. In IT, students often leave university after a year and a half because they're offered jobs at salaries of $80,000. Consequently, when they decide to do a master's degree, they're asked, “Do you want to work 40 hours a week for $80,000 a year or to work 60 hours a week as a graduate student living below the country's poverty line?” Those are the options they're offered.
