I am guessing it will increase the drop out rate. Lots of ppl go in undecided. May start in a cheaper field and those proposed would be harder class work. I mean simple stats would tell you that this would increase the amt of kids dropping, right?

Also, it may get ppl that graduate with those degrees that are not the right personality fit. A lot of them are detail oriented degrees that lead to extraordinarily detail oriented jobs. Lots of ppl can fake it for 4 yrs and get a degree, but then end up with ppl that poorly fit the personality mold for the job they will be seeking. Just spit balling here.
I like the fundamental idea behind it. Force fulfillment of a need. Could increase a lot of things as far as income, taxes, bring in industry, etc. Will be interesting to watch.
