re: A Common Sense Approach to Dealing with the College Debt Crisis

Would a common sense approach be:
1) think of college like an investment and the majority of classes should maximize that investment. Think STEM degrees
2) get a job while in college. Take classes in the summer and try to graduate in 3 years.
3) don’t get any facial tattoos or piercings or those strange ear lobe things that look retarded.
4) remove the red dye from your hair prior to any job interviews. Also don’t do any drugs 3 months prior to job interview.
5) take seminars on how to interview at a job. Don’t tell the interviewer that his company has a large carbon footprint and that you alone know how to run the company.
6) after being hired, live frugally. Establish good credit. Pay bills on time.
7) negotiate a good interest rate on your student debt.
8) pay it off.
Common sense like that?

Think STEM degrees
We should probably keep some English degrees in there. Have you seen the abysmal grammar of folks these days?
I actually don't have an issue with loaning people money for the degree of their choice. If you choose art history as your major, then that is what you choose. It's a risk, but it's your risk to take. Regardless of the degree, your career is what you make of it. If you borrow the money, you pay it back. It's really that simple.
If you're going to mandate that schools loan money based on degrees with earning potential, are you also going to mandate that they place those graduating students in jobs that pay accordingly?
