Yea but you:

a) can't allow "vote to kick" from the opposing team in a competitive environment. That has obvious abuse written all over it, either intentionally or unintentionally (opposing team is losing or opposing player is legit good but they think he is cheating) b) when you allow vote kicking of "same team only", like CSGO, there is a lot of grief type of harassing where parties of players (like a 3 queue) can vote kick teammates just for general griefing reasons, intentionally deranking, and the like.

Yes, when I first looked at this data I tried my best to lump it into categories. (Was in an discussion about ROI on "free" college)

about 65% of grads are in what I would consider, employable categories. STEM, Healthcare, Business, applied sciences (production/manufacturing type stuff), there are more but I cant remember now

about 25% of grads in what I would consider, employable but less so. Things like psychology, social sciences, histories, social work degrees, etc

then 10% are in the liberal arts/basketweaving area

While I will be the first to admit that degree is not necessarily an accurate predictor of success. I still think it is fair to say that even in the age of abundant student loans, in general most students ARE trying to pursue jobs that will make them employable. Even if they are misguided in some way, or don't hit the mark.

That is overly generic and not necessarily true.

Truthfully, depending on your definition of majority, most college students ARE already pursuing more profitable majors.

The "underwater basketweaving" so to say, may be at most 10-15% of current college graduates.

I think the solution lies more with reducing the cost of college, open source textbooks, more elearning, etc. Regardless of government funding vs subsidized loans, the cat is already out of the hat on a lot of price increases around campuses nation wide. It isn't going to be just as easy to just change the funding source.

I also sympathize with the trade school argument, but I don't think everyone going to college is a bad idea by any means.
