Unpopular to admit: we need doctors / engineers / farmers more than we need another art major.
As a US taxpayer, I wouldn't want to subsidize just anyone's education. I'd rather incentivize and subsidize engineering / STEM / agricultural science.
You don't get to just get a free education regardless of what you want to study - different work/study has different value to society.
- bonoboTP 6y agoEven in free-tuition countries, there are caps on the number of students admitted to various study programs under state subsidy. The government can incentivize more productive degrees by allocating more spaces to them.
