Depends where you live. Geology, if you're Australian. Resources will run down, and miners will pay more for geoligists to keep them from dying.

If you're British, study law or business. Both are going to be paying more for both.

If you're American, study another language and law.

If else, study agriculture/management.

There are way, way more people going into law than positions available. That's a really shitty financial decision.

Become a Registered Nurse

>I need to pick a college major.
No you don't.

Also, if you are asking a fucking imageboard what to major in and have absolutely no areas of interest or skill, no suggestions to narrow down the advice, no explicit passions or direction, then you are not going to be successful regardless of what you major in.

You'd be better off not going massively into debt for something you don't even care about and working as a barista for a while or whatever while you figure your gay fucking shit out.

These. That said, everywhere is always short of engineers.

Computer science.

This.

Or pretty much any engineering job.

Being a code monkey and not even having the luxury of liking it seems like a fate worse than death.

It depends. For every major, there are a certain number of set tracks that extend through the organizational level. Basically, you fulfill a set of arbitrary requirements, internships and the like, and you gain employment. Grades are actually less important than many of these aspects.

So your major doesn't matter as long as you understand how the system works. Therefore, you can pick whatever you want, as long as you rigorously apply yourself to scouring the department for leads and brown nose with vigor.


Now, since clearly you have never had a decent talk with a counselor, what do you like doing? Describe to me your average day. Do you want more interaction, or less? Do you want to be in the sun, or at a desk? Do you want responsibility or laissez faire?

While it's true that there's lots of opportunity for STEM majors, there is opportunity to have a meaningful, secure and well paying career without going that route. Business school is a legitimate option, but also a distinct possibility that doesn't get brought up as often is Public Administration. People seem to think that this is a dry, boring topic; nothing could be farther from the truth. Public sector employees holding degrees can typically expect a healthy salary, excellent benefits, and can be confident that their 9 to 5 really is that, leaving time to live life and raise a family. This isn't always the case, of course, but it's definitely a viable option.
