In India we chose academic streams purely on the basis future employment and career aspects.
Taking huge loans to study things like literature was either considered a extreme luxury of the rich who wanted a degree just for the heck of it, or those people going to such sciences(Even commerce, accounting etc) are largely considered people who can't do tough things in life(a.k.a losers).
Most people who study things like literature eventually have to go on and get another degree on top of it. Like say an MBA just to get a job.
Never understood why people take huge loans to study non-STEM degrees.
