I guess it depends on what one is studying; there are so many harder courses now that often take 5 years like engineering, architecture, etc. I thought you were going to comment on how college is "dead" now, getting that way, for liberal arts graduates as they aren't specially enough trained for the job market now; people have to take out loans and then can't get a job without specific skills. Looks like La Roche has that pretty well covered though.
