I note studies have suggested that if you (a) actually graduate from (b) a non-profit four year college, then your ROI is very likely to be strongly positive regardless of major. I think that supports your impression the benefits of college do not necessarily depend on major choice. But if you don’t actually graduate (one regrettably common outcome), or go to a for-profit institution (also all too common), then all bets are off.
