Couple this with the idea about "Colleges would subject applicants to greater scrutiny and only admit those who show promise of graduating and finding jobs within a reasonable time frame," and "a partnership" between the student, the bank and the college," and an interesting synergy emerges.
If students cannot receive college loans for traditional liberal doctrinal "_______ studies" courses that don't lead to actual jobs, then these tenured professors will have to find a way to get their students to pay for these courses themselves, or the courses will be dropped from the catalog due to lack of demand.

I am reminded of a co-worker’s issue from twenty years ago. His daughter was two years into a liberal arts degree deal and woke up at the end of a summer visit to a friend who’d already graduated and gotten the insider prospective of job prospects. She decided the degree was worthless (as dad had said before). Now? The trouble is that about 50-percent of what she took for the two years wouldn’t do any good toward another degree. You can figure about $18,000 wasted on nothing.
She moved on, got into business-related classes and it was simply written down by dad as a loss. At least she didn’t wrap up four years and discover the worthless nature of the degree then.
I noticed recently that these city or urban tourist boards that have popped up....are mostly made up with graduates with either psychological or acting degrees. At least they are gainfully employed and paying taxes, and maybe there is some type of field for their employment future.
The people I look at....are the ones with women’s studies or ethnic studies....who have no real employment future at all....then end up at some airport car rental shop as a manager (a field that used to be reserved for folks with a high school diploma).
That’s unConstitutional!
