Biggest “scamdal” around. Between the colleges, banks, and the US federal government. A big bubble waiting to be burst.
This bubble is probably set for 2020 to 2025. The problem is that you wrap up a four-year program and have these high expectations. If the best you can do....is a $24k a year job as the local manager of some Enterprise Car Rental shop, then you are fairly screwed. The manager job was usually one you gave to some guy with a year or two of college at most, and maybe they had ten years of military time. It really demoralizes a guy who wasted four years and this is probably the best you can expect for the next five years.

Or more correctly, indentured servitude.
ROFL, Medieval Art Appreciation is better than my Left-Handed Lesbian Poetry Studies!
