What's a general education degree worth? I ask because a lot of state schools won't even put you into a degree program until your 2nd or 3rd year. We're asking teenagers to make lifelong commitments knowing they don't have enough knowledge or experience to do so.
I think the president has it almost right. Deny student loans to worthless colleges. The degree is a byproduct since it is the coursework that counts.
- intopieces 10y ago>Deny student loans to worthless colleges Deny student loans to all for-profit colleges. They only exist to suck up GI bill money anyway. Mandate a gap year between high school and college: minimum age for attendance ought to be 19, barring a few exceptions. Many of my friends have gone on to be perfectly successful, but only after deciding after the first year that college is not for them. Too late; they already had loans. Had we all taken a year to truly ruminate on what we want to do, we'd all ended up a lot better.
