    Sure, but majoring in art history at Duke University is the classic example of a major problem with education.

    That person will never be able to repay the loan and neither should even an extremely government subsidized education program support more than a handful of people in that field.

    Most of these are “liberal arts” in the extremely classical, Greek sense: they are for people who will never need to work for a living.

    It’s sad that we can’t have this, but what does one do with an art history degree? There’s a few jobs, but not that many, and they certainly don’t pay for tuition at Duke University.
