    Sure, but majoring in art history at Duke University is the classic example of a major problem with education.

    That person will never be able to repay the loan and neither should even an extremely government subsidized education program support more than a handful of people in that field.

    Most of these are “liberal arts” in the extremely classical, Greek sense: they are for people who will never need to work for a living.

    It’s sad that we can’t have this, but what does one do with an art history degree? There’s a few jobs, but not that many, and they certainly don’t pay for tuition at Duke University.

      Please point to anywhere that I said anything about the usefulness of any of these majors or about their ability to pay off their loans or even whether the majors should be kept at this university.

      You’re arguing with someone about something you created in your head.
