Personally, I think we need to make sure that college does not force you into debt for decades. The rise in tuition over the last 30 years is completely nuts.

Personally, I think we need to make sure that college does not force you into debt for decades. The rise in tuition over the last 30 years is completely nuts. I think we also need to reevaluate what we really need from people graduating. I think there needs to be a serious discussion around how badly you need a STEM degree for some jobs. Do you need a CS degrees to test an application, probably not.
This leads me to another problem, because everyone wants to get a degree in a STEM field for a better job, the pool is diluted. I've met several people with degrees in CS where I seriously question if they actually ever attended class. (Actually from what I've seen the profitable jobs are really just in TE, science and math in undergrad seems to be little better than an English degree as far as decent job prospects.)
