I recall that one of the issues that the “Occupy Wall Street” kids complained about was that they had spent so much on a college education but could not find a job. Of course, they blamed Wall Street’s “one percenters” instead of the colleges that didn’t bother counseling them that academically easy majors in “studies” aren’t worth the paper their diplomas are printed on.

While the responsibility to check whether one’s field of study is likely to pay off ultimately falls on the student, I also realize that many students going to college are not likely to do such analysis of their majors. So it is a good thing for Trump to require colleges to at least make such information available.

It's definitely caveat emptor. They'll take your money either way, it's just up to the student to make the right choices or else get scammed. And a lot of modern college courses look like utter scams - time and money spent for NO benefit. Either people aren't thinking it through or else they are of the sort that don't care and are out for prestige - just get Junior out of the house and get him/her a diploma from the University of XYZ that says they're smart (in something) so they don't look like losers to their social circle. As for any possible post college employment, depending on if "Junior" is even interested in such a thing, there's probably a plan to network him/her in somewhere whether they're capable and competent at it or not.
