Have you looked at other majors? Are there any elective classes that held your interest?

If you check the "What was your college major" thread, you'll see that a lot of us here have degrees in something completely different than what we ended up doing in the real world. The college that I went to actually has students that are proud that the school only offers one major that directly correlates into a career in the real world (computer science). I know a whole lot over very successful history and political science majors in the business world. The most gifted historian that I've ever studied with is now a residential general contractor, for instance.

As an employer, I don't necessarily hire people that have training or experience in my field for entry level. In fact, I've gone out of my way to hire folks who majored in humanities. Stay in school, but find something that holds your interest better.
