I could take out a $150,000 loan to buy a splendid piece of art. It might uplift me spiritually and enlighten me in untold ways. But if the loan payments leave me unable to pay for rent or food, it's kind of moot.
As long as college is financed with debt, there needs to be a return that will outpace the debt interest or we end up with a generation of debtors who have no freedom to make use of the enlightenment they gained from their liberal arts degrees because they're forced to scramble and kowtow to the people who majored in business if they want to eat.
