What if we really let the free market work? For example, a top student gets a loan for a mechanical engineering degree at a top school at low interest. A high school dropout, if they can get one at all, pays a lot for a loan to get an English degree, less for something practical and doable.

The loan underwriters would get to see your school records (acedemic and diciplinary), and any community or work records. Maybe young people would get the message that actions have consequences. Maybe it’s just too late.

Yea, you slipped up BIG TIME. There is no way that this government will do ANYTHING at all to cut down on the useless degrees. They will MAKE CERTAIN that people will continue to get paid to get useless degrees.
