I'm getting the feeling that people here simply think that having a degree of any type guarantees entry into a career. Sorry to say, but you can't get a job that requires certain skills just because you spent years achieving an arbitrary degree that has absolutely nothing to do with the field, and with no experience to boot.
Getting, and being eligible for, a job that requires a specific knowledge, does not hinge on the ability of a person to sit in a classroom for 4 years. It kinda hinges on you knowing what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to your job.
College kinda provides that possibility. It's a guarantee to your employer to at least some degree and serves as a baseline for hiring in many cases. But that baseline isn't simply the presence of a "degree" that serves absolutely no functional purpose in the job.

By the way... I kinda wonder... Why would you want to major in something if you have absolutely no idea what you want to do in life? Maybe my logic is retarded, but it seems like a person might want to um... spend time, effort and money on something he/she is going to actually use.
