Limit the number of degrees in any field to a government estimate of the number of jobs that will require said degree. In other words, if the projection is that America will only have a need for another 1000 basket weavers next year, the limit would be maybe 1200 basket weaving degrees nationwide could be issued, and the universities would have to vie to get some of that allocation. If a degree does not have any viable career path, then the allocation would be zero, and the university would have to drop the program. Make the Dept of Education actually do something and run the analysis of the need by degree and run the lottery for the universities.

“to a government estimate”

I’ll bet you that will be accurate.

You’re making this suggestion because the Federal government is so good at making predictions and estimates?

The CEOs will say half the domestic graduates are incompetent and that they’ll need to import foreigners to fill half the better paying jobs.

This was exactly Hillary’s plan for government taking over health care.

No. Then the government can say you can’t study religious ministry or Christian counseling.

The government has a really crappy track record of predicting what jobs will be in demand 5 to 8 years out. They are almost never right.
