They should definitely prioritize “safe” degrees, but certain fields like art or music having limited scholarships for people who really stand out, those are the people that get jobs from it. They should however restrict student loans for things that are not likely to get jobs. Let the banks assume the risk and they will figure out your ROI
The problem isn't art, but how it is taught. Having been an art student myself, I can tell you that there's maybe a couple classes that actually teach you how to produce something, but the vast majority of it is teaching you how to be a leech, living off government grants, and maybe thinking about painting something political. (And not conservative! That's not allowed! Nor is anything aesthetic.)
Ironically you're better off in trade school if you want to be an artist!
I agree with this, I’m a recent art graduate and it’s a very entrepreneurial degree. However art is all around everyone at every moment, it’s not a useless degree at all, especially if art programs back off the idea that all art students should pursue post-modernism at the expense of actual skill.
