I’m not quite sure what the world would look like without philosophers, economists, teachers, lawyers, historians, archeologists, psychologists, artists, authors, and social workers. But apparently that’s the world you want if you think every degree outside of STEM is worthless.

I'm a bit perturbed by that attitude myself. Having said that, a person is, in my opinion, obliged to pay his debts. When choosing a field of study, one has to be circumspect about its financing.

I would say let's try it. These professions do not need degrees at all, philosophers, historians, artists, authors, and social workers. Self directed study should teach them what they need to know.

These people we could used a great deal less of, economists, lawyers, archaeologists and psychologists. There is currently a glut on the market and they are mostly fools.

There should be no such thing as a teaching degree.

historians, archeologists, psychologists, artists, authors = hobbies.
