It could be argued that loans lead to more students with degrees in fields that boost the GDP and result in you having more money in the end.

So make them dependent on degrees that produce intelligent individuals for jobs that are in demand.

No one needs a gender studies degree, or a degree in intersectionality. They produce nothing but division.

I agree. Guaranteed loans are only useful if the degrees are useful. They should really limit how many people can get these ridiculous degrees.

It could also be argued that loans lead to more people with degrees in fields that directly compete with others in that field, thereby lowering the market value of that degree. It could also be argued that those excess degree holders are lowering the wages of people who worked 80 hour weeks after class instead of taking loans and are now being asked to pay for the people who weren't willing to work.

Sorry man, you're never going to convince me that my tax dollars should ever go to another adult for any reason except in extreme hardship.

I'm not trying to convince you. I'm just throwing some potential reasons out there so we're not ignorant of other stances.

Then loans should only go to people getting degrees in fields where there is a demand.
