Interesting how times have changed, makes me feel quite old. When I graduated from college in 1986, as long as it wasn't a liberal arts major, you were very employable. That silly little piece of paper that qualified you to say "You want fries with that" was enough for most people. Because it said that you had what it took to make it thru four years, that you had the committment.

I was a math major, with the intent of going on to engineering school, which I did for a year and a half, until I realized that I was the stupidest person on the planet. I ended up, after jumping around a little bit, paying off my dept, in a career in information systems, settling, finally, in programming. Not a far stretch from math, but the guys I work worth - -not one started life as a computer science major.

Where am I going with this?

Accounting is probably the one major where it is going to pertain to your working life, or at least get some useful information out of. Most other majors? Eh - not so very useful in the grand scheme of things, but it helps to discover where your interests are and opens a new world to you.
(my brother, younger by two years, was a Philosophy and French major, and ended up in IT - it was all about getting the degree) - have times changed that much?
