FREOPP is "A non-profit, non-partisan think tank that conducts original research on expanding economic opportunity to those who least have it."
For example, at The University of Texas at Austin, if you major in Petroleum Engineering and graduate on time, your ROI is $2.6 million over your lifetime of work.
If you major in math it is $763,000.
If you major in anthropology it is $36,000.
