Anecdotes are just that. My cousin graduated with an Engineering degree at a top state university in May and was offered a very good position only a month later. There are so many factors at play here.

Same answer as always - the major that you love and do well in.

I attempted to go against the grain once. It was costly and the major did not "stick".
Didn't have it, but didn't love it.

College is about learning - and learning to love learning for the sake of nothing more than learning.

Vocational or trade schools are focused on obtaining a trade or vocation after graduation. That was never the goal of a university education, although it is a frequent outcome.
