Unfortunately it seems there are no consequences for the universities, and it's not hard to make those qualifications seem both alluring and lucrative.
There's got to be a way to hold them to account for the countless graduates who don't end up finding industry positions.
It’s the job of universities to recruit and train people. They are offering the degrees people want. Not sure why they should be punished for that. It’s really the students and families going in with unrealistic expectations that is an issue here.
Blaming young adults and families is unfair. Many institutions need to be held to account for advertising outcomes which don't materialise for their students.
