Qwerty with the smart flex, going after the tax exempt status!

Schools should start eliminating majors that have no value in the real world job market (i.e. most liberal arts majors). Maybe provide subsidies for students who are in need and complete a STEM major?
Those majors don't pay as well but they are important to a well-rounded society. English major may not earn as much as a run-of-the-mill coder but for every Google and FB founder from a pool of comp sci major, there will be some super stars emerging from English and liberal arts graduates.

Is the US really a well rounded society? I think we are far from it.

Maybe we should be hating on the states dis-investing in supporting colleges and universities - where taxpayer subsidy for tuition has dropped by 3/4 in the past three decades.

They shouldn't. But the problem with liberal arts majors is those are the majority of the people that have the most student debt that have the most issues paying them off compared to other majors. I'm honestly not sure how schools could change that either.Kenkoko said:freedomcm said:Why the hating on the liberal arts? most 'creatives', advertising, lawyers and teachers were liberal arts majors.

I don't get the hating either.
The root of this probably comes from confusing economic value with human value.
I get the arguments from fiscal conservatives about government spending, but should the government only subsidize things with economic value?
Is that beneficial to society?
