Here is a solution that avoids the 'noise' university environments create.

Ideally: 1. Attend an in-state university. 2. Look at your school's graduation report, which surveys students by major on their starting salary 3. Choose a program with a high starting salary 4. Take all general education classes online at a community college, starting the summer after high school graduation

This is the most probable way to achieve a high roi on college, for an average american.
