I dueled polysci/philosophy in undergrad, both awesome degrees, and both useless by themselves. But I also have quit a few friends who went the enginering route and ended up having to take advanced masters/doc programs anyway to be able to work in the fields they were interested in so chances are in todays competitive job market you will need to go beyond a simple 4 year degree (realizing many enginering degrees take 5 years to complete) if you want to have an edge. So find something you like taking now and keep in mind that you will probably have to take advanced work later on. And if you really want to get ahead do like me, marry yourself a pre-med student and learn how to cook. Nothing beats being able to stay home and not work.
