“I like the concept of a university posting average salaries for each of their majors. But I wouldn’t bank on it for two reasons:”

College tuition should be based on major/minor and career. The college application should include career aspirations. A degree in French Cultural Dancing and Literature should not cost the same as a Degree in Chemical Engineering. The one price fits all undergrad tuition system is deeply flawed in this respect.

The French Cultural Dancing and Literature degree ensures you will get an interview at Starbucks while the Chemical Engineering degree will ensure you get an interview with Shell Oil.

Except a good portion of the undergraduate is the same classes. English, politics, history, government, art, econ, every degree requires the liberal arts group for your 'well-rounded' education. Shoild those classes be different charges based on degree choice? Or just the degree-specific classes?

UTA does something like this - there's base tuition charges, then different departments have a surcharge. So MAE undergraduate classes cost an extra $100 per credit-hour, or something like that. Degree program is even more, and graduate stuff more on that.
