[quote=Anonymous][quote=TheManWithAUsername][quote=Anonymous]Am currently earning 6 figures on a theology major. I don't see why I should pay a higher interest rate than some underemployed IT major just because you think you know who is going to be successful in life. You really have a problem with bitterness.[/quote]
I moved this from the metathread.

I won't defend the other PP's ideas, but I think the response to this is that the question should be, "Why should the government subsidize theology and other liberal arts degrees?" (The subsidy here is in the guarantee of the loan.) I support government investment in the hard sciences, but generally not in the liberal arts.[/quote]

Why? This seems an indefensible bias. The country needs liberal arts majors as much as it needs hard science majors. Many of us English majors end up in technical writing, teaching, drafting tests, journalism, or other communication jobs. Similar fields could be outlined for other so called soft majors.

Enginners can end up as under or unemployed as lib arters, AND their degrees generally take longer to achieve, thus costing more.
