As a fan of free markets you should realize that the real "consumer" is the one(s) paying the bill. If that is the taxpayers, either through guaranteed student loans, or through perpetual welfare, then the taxpayers have a right, or duty, not to create additional brain-damaged deadbeats.

How many non-government job openings can you find for any of the worthless degrees I listed?

None of those degrees are required to serve coffee, French fries, or beer, or to drive taxis, or any other jobs where these useless degree holders end up.

Sorry, but I prefer to have the individual make the decision about what kind of education they want, not the government.

You might have a point if you could show that certain majors defaulted on their loans at a higher rate, and that was the critereon the government used to decide to guarantee the loan or not, but I sense you're just basing it on your idea of what's a worthy field of study.

As long as the government is guaranteeing loans they should be neutral as to major. Again, who decides what majors are "government approved"?
