Some vacation companies advertise that people should take loans to go on vacation. Should they be held accountable when it turns out that adding that you went on a cruise to your resume is just as useful as adding that you got a useless degree? In fact some colleges advertise their college as you would advertise a vacation. They use terms like "college experience".

No,but the government isn't also paying employees to tell people in schools and since they were children that they _need_ to go to on a cruise or be doomed to a life of mediocrity/poverty. Our college system in the US is having a similar problem as our healthcare. We've decided everyone needs it badly and it's better for all of society to have it, but we leave it up to corporations to serve that need when they will take advantage of the extremely inelastic demand.

It's like having an open wound next to a hungry tiger and being surprised when they try to eat you. The government should be setting price ceilings on schools that take Federal loans if we as a society have agreed that it's such a worthwhile goal as to ensure everyone can go and that we will pay for it
