Sorry, bud. I also went back to school for another go after 2005, still focusing primarily on ROI. So I think I can say I'm well aware of and lived through both current and past student loan / tuition regimes. But please feel free to continue to attack the tone of my argument rather than the content.

Your "argument" was nothing but tone, unless you're literally trying to say that people are majoring in underwater basket weaving, in which case my counter argument is "no they aren't".

Your argument is a straw man and it was a pathetic attempt to blame the victim AND it ignored the vast increases in college tuition. It was a poorly reasoned argument and it was incorrect.

Yes, but these are kids lacking your additional 20 years of experience. Congrats on your ROI, Other people are just looking to get out of dead ends, thinking the better (or any) school will provide that. Unfortunately we'll see the for-profit schools negatively affect the overall. Even so, a 11% default rate across the board is nothing to sneeze at.
