Has anyone besides me ever noticed these sob stories about graduates with lowered expectations never have degrees in engineering or computer science?
You hit the nail on the head. Liberal arts humanities majors has always been at the back of the economic bus when it comes to grads salaries. Even more so now in the age of technology.If the criteria for granting subsidized student loans is the likelihood of pay back,student loans would not be subsidized for humanities majors. Math, science,accounting,health science,engineering, and technology majors present the best economic future for grads. I do not believe in Pell grants but if the taxpayer is forced to pay for them they should only be extended to the aforementioned majors.
