My advise to anyone considering college is to major in whatever interested them in high school, and not to listen to career counselors when they tell you to get a degree in something practical. People I know who got liberal arts degrees or other degrees that matched their interests and strengths, rather than job demand projections, have done very well.

So get a degree that plays into your strengths and you'll create your own demand. If your strength is caring for people and being good at diagnosis, then get a medical degree. If you're good at selling things (including yourself) get a business degree, or if meticulous to the nth degree, get an accounting degree. If you were the high school history buff, get a history degree.

A "practical" degree is an impractical, worthless piece of paper if it doesn't play to your strengths.
