[Leaning Right]

I didn’t think of that, but you’re right.

Perhaps the solution is to make colleges co-sign the loans. The student must bear responsibility for choosing a worthless major. But the colleges must also bear some responsibility for even offering such a major.

I say this because college advisors will shamelessly lie to students. You’re thinking about a major in 12th century literature? Good choice! Employers will value your knowledge of the classics.

These advisors are not interested in success for the student. They are only interested in keeping the enrollment numbers up.

You are NOT kidding! I have four daughters, three of which were really interested in college. One wanted to be a teacher. One wanted to be a writer. One wanted to be an artist.

Between the three of them, we visited, emailed, and talked with over twenty-five different colleges... every one of them SWORE that [insert chosen major here] would all but guarantee them a life-long, six-figure career! By the time my youngest graduated back in 2011, it was a joke my wife and I would bet how long it would take before one of the counselors or the designated representative/salesman for that chosen major would mention the "life-long, six-figure" phrase!

It was like watching the news...they get their talking points and every single one of them uses the exact same phrase (i.e., "election denier", etc.)! LOL!
