I don't know. I remember I met a girl at a bar once and she said she was going to Columbia. I thought "ooohhhhh"....then she said she was studying cosmetology, and I was like "wait, wuh?"
Competition for top students is pretty intense at schools. So the more people we send off to college with free tuition and what not, the more schools you will need to serve those bottom tiers of students. Those ROI's are never going to be very good, at all. And if you choose a course of study that is already saturated at better schools, there aren't going to be jobs for you in that field of study. Maybe if you are a straight A student at the bottom tier school, you can compete with the C students at better schools (but that's being fixed with grade inflation).
