Mid 30s ditch digger here

Thoughts on taking the biggest student loan I can possibly take and getting a STEM degree?

No intention of ever paying a dime of that loan, no intention of ever having a STEM job. Just want a degree in what my interests are, I already study 4 hours a day in STEM subjects and have for well over a decade.

Is there an actual downside to this? I get paid in cash they can't garnish my wages and I don't really plan on living to old age anyways, due to the fact that my body is only without pain because of an extremely high degree of fitness that I will not be able to maintain beyond my 40s. (Ligaments have significant laxity, causing a lot of play in joints and spine which leads to lots of pain, the only way I have found to fight this is to have lots of muscle)
