Honest information about what a qualification actually leads to

The problem

Young people choose courses on the basis of marketing, and discover the employment reality only afterwards.

Why it matters

Three years and a family loan are too expensive a way to find out that a course does not lead anywhere.

Proposed solution

Publish outcome data by course and institution where it can be obtained: placement rate, median starting salary, and the response rate behind both figures.

How it would be implemented

Aggregate published institutional data and alumni surveys, always with the response rate stated next to the figure.
