Jack,
The issue is that people are taking out loans that have no chance of paying them back. It is not that I think that only _____ should be funded, but you should have to show you will have the ability to pay back the loans. And this should not be limited to type of degree, but also grades.
A person with an engineering degree with a 2.0 GPA, isn't going to find it easy to get a position, unless they have some other skills. A person with a BA degree in 1st century latin poetry isn't going to find it easy to get a job either, no matter their GPA.
One of my buddies decided to go to Medical School. He used his GI Bill (or whatever it is called), went to school in 2 year school, transferred to a 4 year school and spent minimal money. He worked while going to school. Eventually he was accepted at a medical school. He finished and is finializing his residency. He has minimal loans because that was his plan. I am proud of him.
