They are not going to stop. How long until a college degree is detrimental to getting a job?

When colleges and universities have sufficiently driven merit out of the pursuit of a degree, the degree itself shall be little more than an ornament, a bauble to hang on your wall, stating that you have dutifully sat through four (or five or six or seven) years, and absorbed nothing of consequence in all that time.

Affirmative Action was and always shall be a dead end, merit be damned, everybody wins a prize, or at least a trophy.

Once the actual capabilities and qualifications of affirmative action graduates shines through their degrees?

A college should lose accreditation of more than a small percentage of graduates default on loans.

The federal government should publish data on a web site showing statistics on graduations, defaults, and starting salaries broken down by college and major.

“How long until a college degree is detrimental to getting a job?”

Already happening. Some professions require a degree, but the program and college is being scrutinized heavily. One State program I know of prefers no college, but wants military training and experience. Reason: “College doesn’t teach them leadership skills for the use of authority. They all want to get along and play kissyface.”
