Not the highest paying field, but I think there are still jobs in social work - nursing homes, hospitals, nonprofit organizations, child welfare, and well-paid but hard to get jobs in certain northeastern public school districts.
Not so, OP. Are you good at languages? The government still needs people who know Middle-Eastern and Inner Asian languages. Afghan languages, Turkic languages (Uzbek, Kazakh, etc.), Arabic, Persian (Farsi), and even Russia and Chinese. Get good at any of those, and you'll be virtually guaranteed a job upon graduating with your BA. Area Studies, too, like studying the history and politics of those regions. If you don't mind living in the Washington DC area, and can pass a security background check, you can have a long and ultimately lucrative career with the gov't security agencies. They can relocate you to foreign countries, or pay you to learn a new language, too.
That's all I've got off the top of my head. If I think of anything else, I'll be back.
I'm no good at math (I struggle with algebra), so I can't get a degree in the sciences. What are some good, practical majors that AREN'T math or science?
Have you taken a statistics class? I don't consider statistics to be very math heavy until you get into the very advanced stuff.
Statistics is a very in demand field and predictive analyst/analytics positions are popping up in almost every fortune 500 company as organizations begin to understand the impact an understanding of big data can have.
Find some online career interest surveys and see what they say. There is this fallacy that only engineering is worth majoring in because of the pay--no one seems to look at job security, stress, etc. that goes along with that however.
Find something you are interested in. There are 1000's of jobs that are not math or science related that pay well.
Besides, the A students end up working for the C students.
Oh yea.
All owners want to put their companies in the hands of people who are cheaters, tardy, irresponsible, incompetent, and lazy, and/or immature instead of somebody who is consistently hard working and diligent and/or super smart.
Industrial/organizational psychology is a high paying field, but you might have to learn statistics and a PhD is preferred. You would need at least a master's to get your foot in the door at most places. A closely related field that doesn't require much math is human resources. There is a lot of demand for social workers, but as someone else said, it's not a high paying field and most jobs require a master's degree.

I hated Math. I still do. Major in something that you enjoy. Not everyone is cut out for science and math.
I majored in Sociology. I have done quite well for myself.
My father was obsessed with the idea of having a son who was a CPA. I took one Accounting class and I got a C. End of his dream, beginning of mine.
Why wouldn't 2 be the correct answer. Let's remember the parentheses still say 2 times the inside of it. (Yes it is multiplying at that point.) After plugging into my phone's calculator it is indeed 288. I am I just questioning the idea.
I have degrees in the social sciences and knew that 2 wasn't the answer. When two operations are on equal footing (multiplication and division), you go from left to right.

Thanks for the response. I remember that through looking the link for the meme. But yet if you scroll down the meme's link there are possibilities for 2 to be right as well. The three ways this can happen are thedistributive property (I looked at it this way due to parenthesis), an implied multiplication precedence and the fact that some argue that division is implied to divide everything after it (except if you say use parenthesis.)
