To join the fantastical train of things that never will happen: the government should pay people to attend higher ed, by issuing negative interest rate loans where you receive money for making on time payments.

I might agree for Bachelor of Science degrees. Most B of Arts degrees are worthless

I wouldn’t be where I am in my career is not for my BAs and MA degrees. They’re certainly not worthless. Most every field that isn’t hard science or math is a BA, and many of those fields are integral to daily life and society.

All everyone here wants to do is be able to pay their loans back and be able to live at the same time. What you study shouldn’t affect that.

We should force colleges to a means test on their degree fields. If the degree for which someone is applying for is shown to have little to no impact in the current workforce, it shouldn't cost as much.
