do what you really want to. Don't pick your major based on what you *think* will get you a good job. Any good college education will give you the skills you need to do well. These days it isn't about what you learn, but that you learn *how* to learn.
I entered college as a music major. I left with a degree in chemistry (because I knew I could get a decent job). I then went to grad school, then became a professor. 4 years ago I decided to change careers. I now run a new media research center. Making a bunch more money. The classes I took in college did little to provide the content for what I do. But the process of doing the classes (and especially the process of learning to solve problems in grad school) gave me the ability to be a life-long learner, and also exposed me to a bunch of different subjects/topics that I would have never otherwise seen (religious studies, philosophy, formal logic, psychology, etc).
Never underestimate the worth of a good liberal arts education. IF you work your butt off...
