It's also not the case that a college education and massive debt go hand-in-hand. In most other Western countries college is either free or much less expensive.
Finally, I disagree that we should determine how "useful" a degree is based solely on its ability to help someone find a high-paying job. While it's certainly true that it's harder to find a job studying the humanities than STEM, perhaps we should consider why it is that our society places such a low value on these subjects?
