[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fine with me. Schools should not be offering degrees that never pay off. [/quote]
Well, we shouldn’t be financing such degrees with public loans. If some heiress wants a degree in studio art, she should absolutely be allowed to spend daddy’s money on it, even if the degree will never pay off in a narrow economic sense. [/quote]
What a self-own this is.

Your family clearly doesn’t have any talent in the arts and you don’t have a home where art, music, dance, and drama are present. If you did, you would support arts education. How sad.

I don't think they don't support arts education. They just don't think the American people should be financing it for students who will most likely default on their loan (as history has shown). There are plenty of full pay families that can continue to pay the tuitions for these humanities programs.

What about financing an education degree? Elementary English - reading?[/quote]

They would still be able to get loans, but at GMU or JMU, NOT a place like northwestern or brown.

It makes perfect sense.[/quote]
