I agree entirely, made my college decision based on these factors at 18. However, these analyses miss the mark by stressing the map, instead of the territory.

Ex. The graph about graduates being underemployed goes back to 1990, and there's no meaningful difference in the difference in the rate between then, and now.

Ex. 41% graduating after 4 years doesn't mean it is necessary colleges need to Find A Better Way: that would affect ex. the complain around graduates being not prepared with no discernible skills

this probably mattered less when the debt load was much lower
