It depends on what a student majors in, but for the great majority of fields, it's financially advantageous to get a bachelor's degree. One major that I remember has historically been near the bottom of the field and had a negative return on investment has been theology. There are a bunch of websites that will list approximate return-on-investments.

Here's the first site that comes up for me. They don't have a complete list, but they do have the highest and lowest RoI majors.

Of course the lowest is education thats so fucking depressing
In David Graeber's book, Bullshit Jobs, he discusses the idea that many jobs that are the most beneficial to society are the most undervalued.
I’m not so sure these studies are relevant with the rise of AI. It’s becoming impossible to find a job as a fresh college grad. That’s gotta affect the calculus.
Too many CS people in the pool. The kids aren’t getting in. Besides, their education was shit and most of them only know JavaScript.
It's not worth the risk
