Really? We had NO idea!

College is not a job training program and not every well educated person who contributes greatly to society will be a "return on investment" in the monetary sense. Society needs academics and the humanities and fine arts too, it's what separates us from the animals.

I have a liberal arts degree and a business degree.  And I agree with you.  I'm glad I have a liberal arts degree.  

But I do not think we should loan people money who cannot or will not pay it back.  And certainly the taxpayers should not voluntarily foot the bill for people's unpaid debts.  It's unfair to the people who have paid off their debts or people who never incurred the debt in the first place.  I don't want the government to bail people out for their bad judgment.  If we get the government out of the college loan business, and leave it to the free market, then more intelligent decisions will be made about whom to loan the money to.  

So I am completely against forgiving student loans.
