> humanities are fun but for many people getting an education it's not worth the cost-benefit analysis
Humanities are more important than STEM. Humanities deal with the world and yourself on issues that aren't quantifiable, which is most of the issues in life and in the world, including at work.
> if our goal is to improve the earning potential of young adults with the minimum financial burden
Again, life is much, much more than jobs - you are much, much more than what you do for some corporation - and early jobs are the least important ones. It's all so absorbed in the corporate perspective: your only value, your existence, is for serving the corporation. And it puts people permanently in that class, as servents rather than as the powerful - the citizens of a democracy, to whom the corporations report.
I think if more people studied the humanities, it would be brazenly obvious. It's craven on the part of the powerful and corporations.
