Those default rate stats are staggering, but not surprising. I just had a conversation with a friend that was a K-12 Superintendent and we both agree how a college degree simply does not make sense for many people. A college degree is only necessary for somewhere around 20% of the jobs in the U.S. Thanks! Anya, great post and I like your friend’s analogy to the mortgage crisis.
