Recently I read an article on about colleges, worst
college careers and education debt for the students who spend 4 to 6 years in
completing their Bachelors or Master’s degree. Students on an average spend
close 45,000 dollars to 90,000 dollars to enroll in a program offered by the
university to earn a degree to secure the future. After the graduation of the
program, students are discovering the prospects and opportunities that were
pictured in the program are not available. As a result of the investment for
education, the students are in debt now. How many of us have not taken a student
loan for education and felt a pinch for repayment after graduation?
So here is my question: Are the programs offered by
colleges in correlation to current market requirements?
Do you think some of the programs the colleges offering
are obsolete in the employment market? What is the market research performed by
the colleges before enrolling the students in to the program? What is the part
that financial aid playing to ensuring the colleges is offering market relevant
programs for the students? Do you think financial aid must regulate colleges
for program based on the repayment statistics for student graduation versus
employment?
There are some state forgiveness programs for students
for specific program. How about the state forgiveness program for students that
graduated an educational program but the opportunity is obsolete? How current
are the program syllabus of the colleges established and what is the
participation of the Department of Labor in the program syllabus for college
programs? Department of Labor must have played an active role in regulating
Department of education to produce graduates in correlation to the demands.

programs should create proficiency for students to become an entrepreneur and
