It isn't the perfect solution, but fixing our education system is going to be much harder to accomplish especially with so many colleges being for profit.

It won't be a single thing that fixes it and will instead be multiple things that will take many years to accomplish.

Meanwhile this is an overnight way to address a problem for students that are out of college. If we only focus on fixing school but ignore those that already went through it, that isn't right either.

It feels like we often get too stuck on waiting for the perfect solution that addresses everything when we have smaller things that can be done to improve the current situation. Yes there is a risk that we never go further than that, but there is also a chance that more fundamental changes will never happen regardless. I would prefer a small something happen than nothing.
