Universities should be forced to publish their unemployment, underemployment, and successes of their recent grads.
In high school the local university was doing a presentation and they said their grads were 92% employed. I immediately asked the obvious question, 'since unemployment is 4%, university makes you less employable?'
They had no answer and so I got to follow up. If I got a physics degree, how likely is it that I would get a job using the degree. They were a biologist, but knew how to answer. "If you get a physics degree, you'll need to get your phd otherwise there's no jobs for you.'

Boy did I ever get in trouble.
