There’s an idea. Tie student loan interest rates to median earnings by academic discipline. Students headed for jobs in lower-earning careers would pay lower rates. Students headed for med or law school, for example, would pay higher rates.

Sure. But it might provide incentive for students to prepare for needed but low-paying jobs like teaching. The price of a college education as prep for certain jobs is already higher than others. Why not factor loans, part of that price, into the equation?

Well for starters, the ones taking out gender studies loans likely wouldn’t qualify for Med school. Just sayin.
