"It may also sway students away from majors that don't have job prospects," says Hoyler. ISA recipients learn "not only what a career may pay, but how stable it may be, what the future is like."

The problem is that colleges shamelessly lie to freshmen. Let’s say you’re interested in becoming a theater major. That’s pretty much a dead-end degree, and many websites will tell you that.

But the theater department will tell you that it’s a great degree. And they’ll give you a few slanted examples to “prove” how great it is. So I don’t completely blame freshmen for making bad decisions on their majors. The colleges are willing enablers.

I, for one, would like to see the colleges have some skin in the game. Perhaps we should make them co-sign student loans.
