    Default Should people majoring in "useless" degrees get less scholarship money?

    I.e. should part of the scholarship decision process be based in what someone majored in? The less useful to society the major is, or the less likely it is that it will lead to one getting a good job, the less they get in scholarships and merit aid.

    That is, women and gender studies, art history, music, English, and so on.

    So America is saturated with useless degrees?

    Here employers require a degree, but hiring is based on testing and problem solving given to the interviewee.

    These fields should be top priority for sure.
    Studies like feminism, liberal arts minimized
