(130,692 posts)The OP seems to suggest that there are only certain courses of study that are "worthy" of loan forgiveness, presumably those that would create more corporate drones - business administration and the like. Of course, once you make more than $125K you aren't eligible any more, so it must be that you have to major in something that leads to a job that makes you ineligible - that way that $10K wouldn't have to paid out anyhow! But I also want a society where people study the arts and literature, even if it doesn't make them rich and even if they need a little help. The loan forgiveness program will mostly help the poorest among us, those who wouldn't have the opportunity to get any kind of higher education, whether it's a major in medieval German literature or a two-year trade school program to become an aircraft mechanic. The idea that there should be all kinds of prerequisites is impractical, unfair, and kind of Republican.
