There are two things here that really bother me.
1. Schools should be mandated to report outcomes for degree programs. I know that isn't the point, but it should at least be known. We have so much data, I should be able to see the expected salary of a major 10 years out.
2. It is clearly predatory that loans are given to students when we can guess that they will never pay it back. This follows from the first point.

- jcheng 4y agoThe US Dept of Education has a College Scorecard website/dataset that has a lot of good information (though 3 years out, not 10 years). For example, here is a page with median earnings for different majors at USC: $109,271/yr for Computer Science, $28,604/yr for English Lit. https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/fields/?123961-University-of-Southern-California https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/school/fields/?123961-Univer...
