I.e. should part of the scholarship decision process be based in what someone majored in? The less useful to society the major is, or the less likely it is that it will lead to one getting a good job, the less they get in scholarships and merit aid.

That is, women and gender studies, art history, music, English, and so on.

Absolutely, and more scholarship money should go to fields in engineering, medicine, future technologies ect

So America is saturated with useless degrees?

Here employers require a degree, but hiring is based on testing and problem solving given to the interviewee.

These fields should be top priority for sure.
Studies like feminism, liberal arts minimized

In my view, yes.
