Should insurance companies offer insurance for people who are told their degree isn’t enough for a job?
Not a bad idea on the surface but I think the person who earns the degree should assume the risk, not the insurace company. Perhaps the college should offer the insurace because the college is the one selling the degree. But then people could get lazy and not try.
No. Many students don’t complete college or take longer to earn a degree. Students may attend several schools. A policy would be very expensive and record keeping difficult.
Students may be committed to majoring in a particular area despite limited job opportunities. Students seem not to understand that they may not find employment. Further, the need for particular majors depend on time as they fluctuate from poor enrollment to many applicants. Schools are obliged to keep programs running in both lean times and when there are many applicants. Thus, the importance of particular majors and employability. How would insurance operate in good days and bad.
Some schools offer a kind of insurance by providing additional training to graduates who are not successful in the job.
No. Higher education is a choice and a privelege. It’s not always job training. If someone chooses a major that doesn’t lead to employment or squanders the opportunities in front of them if they do, it’s on them.
