This is a great idea. Place all the information in the hands of students, including the estimated present value of anticipated future earnings, as well as statistical distributions. Estimating default risk, completion of degree, and so forth should be child's play for analysts who are familiar with mortgages and credit risk. It would be great to apply similar risk comparisons to the higher education bubble. The irony is that the rising freshmen who are actually numerate are probably already entering high average return fields (CS, engineering, sciences, business) and those who are innumerate (and thus can't interpret those data) are probably entering low average return fields (humanities, sociology, gender studies).
