That's an interesting proposition. I'm not sure how much I dig paying someone to quit but I really, really like the idea of the schools subsidizing the loans rather than the taxpayers. That's never going to happen though. I'm also at a loss to explain the ridiculous rise in tuition over the last 20 years. When I first started college in 1985 each semester was less than $1000. When I graduated in 1989 it was still around $1200 a semester. Again....this was a state school but that same school is now $6000 a semester. Wages sure haven't increased by a multiple of 4 since then.
