sounds like something useful for student loan companies. if the student is in "safe" major decrease interests, and if they are in risky one, increase the rate. and market the reasoning.

and voila, students now have incentive for cheaper and reliable courses. which results in better ROI on student loans

The issue is that this might flood talented people to majors they don't like, yet who would be employable otherwise, while also being unfair to those who get a good job. Back in finance, I've met investment bankers and consultants who've majored in music and history. And yes, they often bring a unique perspective into the fold.
