I wish more conversations around student loan debt discussed the outcome difference by major. The income gulf between an engineer and a lit major is massive. The conversation focuses on how bad the economy was when we graduated, but I suspect outcomes would be wildly different if people majored in STEM or business and instead minored in feminist dance theory or French poetry or whatever their passion may have been.

And here is the catch, some of these low-paying studies are also important for society. Culture has a place and a PhD in Contemporary Classical music has its worth in society.

Education is one of the best returns of investment of taxes a society can make to itself, I don't understand how people want to make this into a free market, it doesn't seem to work.
