This is a great change. When I went to college, I came out with a certain amount of debt, as one does. The college I attended used the idea that graduates made more once they graduated. When I got done colleging, I asked the Alum organization several times what they had in terms of jobs--particularly when it came to paying back loans. I even asked the student loan people eventually if they were hiring. Not a single person from any of those institutions, who sold the idea of college education resulting in higher paying jobs, answered me. Not once.

The system is not accustomed to having any kind of accountability for the stuff it says. It is only interested in ensnaring people to its terms, and capturing its capital. Once that is finished, it is "done" with you. This flips that script, potentially.
