Totally negates the monetary values of a college degree.

The idea behind science is not to study it because you'll make a lot of money off of it. Even less it is so for humanitities.

Paying in tangibles for intangibles is a very subjective thing and needs to be done wisely.

How much is enlightenment actually worth if it makes you a wage slave for the rest of your life? College degrees with no monetary value were fine... Until they started costing enough to put you below the poverty line for decades at a minimum wage job. Want to feed your soul? Make it so you never have to work in fast food.
