If Orban is “far right”, as he is often labelled, I’m “far right” too. In the U.S., I don’t want the president or Congress to ban majors, but I’d like to privatize student loans. I bet private lenders would charge higher interest rates to gender studies majors than business or engineering majors.

Yes they should. If I had children today, I'd encourage them to go for an MBA.

I would go farther and change whatever legislation and/or tax code provisions that would make student loans dischargeable under U.S. Bankruptcy law. The colleges would go beserk but certainly be more thorough in their due diligence with prospective students and their parents’ ability to cover sprog debt.

Privatize loans, plus make student loans dischargable in bankruptcy. People wanting to major in worthless subjects can pay cash up front.
