As with anything- this can go either way. I like the idea, but I don’t trust those who are in position to interpret and enforce it.
People are the problem. Not institutions, laws, blah blah blah. People.
I look at everything like it’s a gun. It could be used for good; it could be used for bad. All depends on who’s holding the gun.

It’s a dumb idea. How are you going to compare a degree in Classical Greek Studies or Art History to those without said degree? Some people want to study such things whether or not we think classical studies are useful…

Nothing is going to stop them. They will need to pay for it themselves without a student loan.

The test itself is simple: If an undergrad program's graduates don't earn more than workers who never went to college, that program could be cut off from federal student loans.

Although the idea sounds great, there's too many variables. Are we comparing an accounting degree fresh out of college in Louisiana with a minimum wage job at SEATAC? The accountant has potential to get a CPA license and climb the ladder. SEATAC had a minimum wage of over 43k

Then don't make that choice. Apply at San Jacinto teacher's college
ETA: half the cost of USC, not that it's a good idea anyway.

In Korea, if you want to study fine art and similar programs you first must prove that your parents can and will support you.
