I hate big government but here’s a regulation I’d like to see.
All public colleges and universities should be required to publish potential employment and salary information for each degree program they offer. This information must come from an objective third party source just like your credit history.
In other words, next to “Bachelors of Arts in Studies of Gay Political Leaders” I expect to see:
Job Opportunities: 0
Potential Salary: $0.00
No. That’s the student’s - to wit customer’s - problem.
To the contrary (or maybe to your point from the other direction) colleges are becoming legally obligated to say “we promise nothing regarding what this degree - or any degree - will get you.”
Job Opportunities: 0
Potential Salary: $0.00"
Except you need a third category:
Government Job Opportunities and salary: Upper Management at over $150K.
