The one problem with this scheme is that it turns colleges into job training and nothing else. They would most likely drop any major that doesn't make a lot of future money.
There is still value in providing philosophy courses and music and art and all the other things that don't lead directly to high paying jobs.

It's fine to point out that almost nobody with that education gets to that level of fame, but, I dunno, I'd value it at well over $200k if I were Phillip GLass, Jonny Greenwood (of Radiohead), or Herbie Hancock.
