    I would suggest choosing a major by the following steps in order
    1- a major in demand
    2- your interests
    3- your abilities
    it's really simple don't overthink it just choose some majors using these steps and read about them and go for the one you liked the most.

So my degree helped me better my career. Then again, unless you follow my path, your choices are a museum curator, or a librarian.

    When it comes to the red flags concerning job outlook and oversaturation, I can’t help but feel an ample amount of concern for Computer Science and how many people nowadays promote Computer Science as a very good degree to have.
    I’m primarily worried on how the future will affect the job market, especially with all the threats of new plagues, new wars, and even automation knocking at our doorstep. Will the demand for jobs in Computer Science, Accounting, and all the degrees that make six figures run out with too many graduates in too little jobs, and will I have enough time in ten years to get through any closing doors without being locked on the other side?

      A common reply to this would be that the amount of people with degrees in computer science grows very slowly simply because universities struggle to get enough professors to expand the amount of people that can take the class. Generally this is because even a bachelor in computer science is so valuable to tech companies that it doesn’t make any financial sense to do a masters or PhD. It also makes it very hard for someone to decide to become a profesor in the subject just because if you’re that good at computer science, getting a job is so much more attractive than being stuck teaching.

    The 5th tip - talking to those who are actually doing what you hope to get into, is truly invaluable. I've been in college on and off for about 11 years (community college so it's basically free, compared to uni), but I've been back in consistently for about two years now. I've always been indecisive about what I wanted to do with my life career-wise, but always gravitated toward teaching, just didn't really know what subject or level I wanted to go for... then in the past couple years I realized I have a passion for sociology and it clicked that I can focus on that and become a sociology professor... before nailing down that decision, I went to one of my former sociology professors for her advice and insight, and honestly it helped me so much.

    6. Pre Law- (need a license & law school to practice)
    6b: criminal justice (unless you're trying to go to law school to become a criminal DA.)
    If you wanna work at the FBI or CIA, narrow it down to department.
    7. Architecture
    8. Education
    Other than that, There's no need to go to college for any other majors other than these. Even in CPU science, ppl can just go to bootcamps for 10% of the price now or days.

    Hey Shane, good points on useless degree indicators. But I would have to say that your point on getting a job in an unrelated field is something being bad in and of itself is something that I disagree with. Yes, those in more specialized, technical, in-demand degrees/fields might get jobs that are related to their degree. But this is actually a sign of hope for people with useless degrees because it shows that their degrees can be made worthwhile if they take the appropriate steps. Adding technical minors and/ore graduate degrees in professional programs can help them greatly. Say if you studied Music, English, Philosophy, or Political Science the odds are you are not going to get a job related to what you studied. But if you added say a minor in computer science or accounting you can have a career in the technology or business world. Various employers are there who don't care what your degree is in or can allow to get into that specific field even if you don't have the specific degree they usually desire. IT companies and HR departments are often like this. Professional degrees such as a JD, MBA, Medical school, or even Dental schools would accept you irrespective of your major.

    I am a retired professor from a national university in Japan. I practice a Japanese martial art, hence my interest in Japan. I am a UK national, so I applied to the British Council and became a British Council Lecturer at Hiroshima University. Eventually I became a tenured professor.
    My initial degree was in Philosophy a a 'new' university (Sussex). I chose this university because of its one-to-one tutorial system, but also because a good friend of mine had. I chose the subject because I had already studied Greek and Latin Classics at Harvard (I had a good scholarship there). I left Harvard because I had been taught by a visiting professor from London University, so I followed him and took my PhD degree at UCL. Hiroshima University (Hirodai) decided I was OK, but I needed a doctorate in order to become a full professor.
    My time in Hiroshima was very pleasant. I learned how to ride a full-sized motorbike (I liked imported Yamaha bikes with no speed limiters, but I also had a Ducati). My role as a prominent English professor at a national university (who could also speak, read and write Japanese) meant that I was invited on various committees (including the local A-bomb and police committee). I had progressed to a car by this time and had a dark green Toyota Supra. A cop once told me ("Sensei. Every policeman in Hiroshima knows your car.") My actual degrees were in philosophy and my PhD thesis was on dialectic in Aristotle: the relation between thinking and speaking in his works. This was actually a very good preparation for learning Japanese.
    So I never thought my degrees in philosophy were useless.

    7. make sure there are actual jobs.
    6. make sure there are job openings. - check future growths.
    5. jobs don't pay well. - no supply and demand.
    4. low job satisfactions - is it meaningful. (check glass door site and talk to ppl)
    3. saturated due to high degrees. - like psychology
    2. too general - like communications. (biology) or acheology
    1. you dont' need a degree to do it, police, and history...
    not one where the degree can help like computer science...
    - solve problems, specific and practical ones.

    There are a few great reasons to learn about psychology, even if you don't plan to pursue a career in it.
    Understanding Others
    If you are majoring in a subject that will lead you to a career that involves working directly with lots of different people, such as teaching or nursing, understanding more about how people think and behave will be extremely helpful in your career.
    Even if you don't plan to work with people, psychology is still beneficial in helping you understand how and why the people in your life think and behave the way they do.
    Understanding Yourself
    Just like it helps you better understand others, taking a psychology class can help you parts of yourself too, including what motivates you, what sort of personality you have, and how your personality contributes to the way you think and behave.
    Understanding yourself better can help you improve your relationships with others, your communication skills, your motivation, and how you relate to the world around you.2
    The study of psychology helps you to understand yourself and others, which can be extremely fulfilling and lead to better, stronger relationships with your family, friends, and co-workers.
    Improving Critical Thinking Skills
    Psychology classes help you learn the scientific method, how to evaluate sources of information, and how to think critically about the information you encounter on a daily basis. These classes can help you hone these skills, which prove useful in a variety of careers and different areas of life.

      However if you're really worried. I recommend asking one of your college choices if they accept transfer credits from a local community College. Do 1 to 2 years there trying to knock out gen eds and some major requirements(in my case I've done some calc classes, an accounting class,and some it and gen eds) and you'll save about 35k to 50k by not being forced to take gen eds at a 4 year university where gen eds( classes that have nothing to do with your major) cost about 1400 to 2500 dollars a class. For comparison I'm taking 6 credit hours at my community College this summer and it's 1k. I'm taking one 3 credit hour at my university as well and it costs me 1500. To further elaborate I've taken around 25 hours at community Colleges before or while attending my 4 year university and at my school it's $450 a credit hour so i saved $11250.

You also don’t need to major in biology, you can major in public heath and as long as you take the prerequisite courses for pa school along with the other requirements you should be fine. However, be sure that you want to pursue pa school, if you get a degree in biology and then realize you don’t want to go to pa school or any other health professional school (like med school) what are you going to do with a degree in Biology? There’s not much tbh. So it just depends on what you plan to do with your degree.
