philk -- I love your idea about forcing colleges to provide stats on how many graduates have jobs and how much they earn say 1,2,5,10,15,20, and 25 years out, but I think in practice it's pretty tricky to do -- how do you classify eg someone who got a philosophy degree and makes a living as a software developer? Don't get me wrong, I agree 100%, if for no other reason than students and the state should be able to see what we're buying for our money, but there are some hard details to work out. But in general, I can't agree more. There's no reason for the thieves running banks to have bribed their way into risk free loans to students. Especially since we didn't have an epidemic of problems before 1998. Let's let them live by their market discipline credo.
