I didn't go. Could have went for free even, still didn't go.
During interviews for my current position as an L6 in the AV space I wasn't asked until a degree until post offer, and even that was a recruiter asking in passing.
Turns out you can just... not go to college and learn things on your own.

I don't necessarily agree that people with bad loans should hang out to dry, but in my opinion this mess should fall on schools first.
They got to use 18 year olds to cosign unsecured loans. Simple as that.
A school can't ask a bank for a $500 million dollar unsecured loan. But it can ask tens of thousands of kids to each bring back 50k.
Now that the jig is up I want to see for-profit schools held accountable for the practice.
The class of people affected by this are not the worse off in this country. There are a lot of places where trillions of tax dollars could be a bigger help than college grads.
