>you only need to sell them on the college experience instead of the price and value of the degree. I think this is a good point because the problem with college recruiting is that they simultaneously advertise that they are an experience and a good investment, while shrugging off the responsibilities of being a good investment. I disagree with the idea that financial institutions should be in the business of determining what a “useful degree” is because a Debian Developer I know has a degree in philosophy. He does development because he happens to like programming and the mission of the project. He doesn’t need a CS degree and I think him having a philosophy degree let’s him bring something unique to the table. Education is abstract enough that you can’t put it into discrete boxes. If you tried Universities would become business schools. Borrowing money for college isn’t bad if the loans are low. College is expensive because of ballooning administration. Federally subsidized loans arguably gave an incentive for this. The right policy is to give Universities a disincentive to adding overhead.
