<p>Not only are there useless majors, but these useless majors are driving the US into trillions of dollars of debt.</p>
<p>What happens when you give student loans to people majoring in hard sciences or technical programs? </p>
<ul>
<li>They finish their degree and repay the debt.</li>
</ul>
<p>What happens when you give student loans to Communications/Philosophy/Afro Studies/Womyn’s Studies/Art History/Gender Studies/Criminal Justice/Hotel mgmt/whatever-the-****/ majors?</p>
<ul>
<li>Occupy Wall Street and the government going into debt with the vast majority of these students defaulting!</li>
</ul>
<p>Students majoring in useless subjects should not be given loans. Surely there is a cheaper proxy for competence than four years and $100,000 of lost productivity, as the major doesn’t actually teach you anything (ECONOMICALLY useful) that a one week seminar couldn’t or that you wouldn’t learn on your first few weeks on the job. </p>
<p>If you really want to spend thousands of dollars studying something useless and have Daddy to back you up then do it. But if you don’t have a rich dad then please head to the library and study what you’re passionate about as much as you want. Don’t waste the country’s resources.</p>
