Colleges are already putting a premium on well-paying majors -- that doesn't even count the lenders. There was a piece, I believe on NPR, within the past two weeks, that discussed how more and more colleges are charging extra tuition/fees for certain majors (engineering, business come to mind). Are they recouping the costs of expanding popular programs or exploiting students who are trying to get into lucrative careers? What happens to the other majors and programs that provide valuable contributions to our society, though they may be neither lucrative nor popular?
