Increasingly a Bachelors degree is the new HS diploma. Will we reach a point were a Masters is the new HS diploma? Will this slow down? To me this is concerning because I’m in college right now. I just feel like it will be worth nothing eventually

The evidence is the opposite. I think you are confused by the fact that more people are obtaining bachelor's and master's degrees today than in the past. In 1960, for example, only about 10% of the US population had a college degree. Now it's about 1/3, maybe a bit more. That doesn't mean it's worth less. If anything, a college degree is more important than it was in the past.

"Increasingly a Bachelors degree is the new HS diploma."
I've been hearing that false mantra for 6 decades, along with "you will never collect social security because it will be gone before you retire." Since the 1970s I worked in 2 careers which those without a college degree could not, and I'm now semi-retired and drawing social security. Remember to think critically when people tell you things.
