If I never had the academic scholarships I earned, I would have never been able to buy a home as a millennial. College now is the price of a home loan.

There needs to be a system where the Colleges have skin in the game beyond just convincing people to sign on the dotted line.
Example - College needs to be required to accept a payment plan of X% of Salary for graduates for Y Years of full-time employment. If the graduate becomes a successful professional in a rewarding field…...the college will make If the graduate is still serving up coffee at Starbucks with their worthless degree the college will get pennies back.
This will force colleges to ensure that degree programs are provide employable skills and that the students they accept are able to complete the program and be employable.
Schools that just take in to hand out worthless paper will become much less a thing.
