What ever happened to personal responsibility? It's something that needs to be instilled in our youth before they ever get to college.
I know at least 3 people that knowingly got PHDs in majors that will not amount to any sort of high-paying job. They chose to do this and it's not really the job of the university to determine the market value of their degrees.

- sjg007 10y agoThey probably aren't that different.. For profit schools are going thru the ringer now precisely because they don't deliver an education. Could a PhD program or law school face the same scrutiny? Possibly. It will be interesting to see how the legal arguments against the for profits unfolds.
