It would be hard pressed to argue that the government is offering loans for the ultimate happiness of the student. As the article points out, the lender is smiling when giving the loan but the end goal like any other business should be to get the funds back with interest in a reasonable time frame. If someone were to pursue a degree for happiness the government does not need to be in the business of funding that. They should be funding students looking to create a sustainable life for themselves.
