BS in Economics. I switched my major 3 times between sophomore and junior year. In hindsight Engineering with Economics or Medicine provide greatest ROI in terms of graduate school and career opportunities. You could also live abroad and study 3-5 languages at what college costs nowadays too.

Theoretical physics. Fun to see that there are many physics students.
I always thought it would be the nerdy stereotype all over, but as it turns out, about 1/2 is the nerdy type and 1/2 are of the guys are great company and really care to get the most out of life. Relatively few in between.

I studied civil engineering. Didn't even make it a full 2 years out of school before I went to work for myself.
Seeing how there is so many smart guys on this form we should use some of that talent and whip up a new trading algorithm. See how well we compete against the quants on the wall street.

Economics and Political Science. Surprising how many guys here have Econ backgrounds; it probably is the most rigorous social science, so I guess it makes sense.
I switched out of engineering in my freshman year, when I noticed that I was looking at the lone girl in my classes (a 4 on a good day), and thinking, "Hey, she's pretty cute."
Currently in the military, and on my own I'm studying Japanese, and brushing up on my Econ, focusing on how the financial crisis happened and what to do about it.

I've been curious about bio-medical engineering, on the surface it seems like a interesting industry where you can make a ton of cash (obviously anything in medicine is money), but it seems like there wouldn't be a whole lot of job opportunities around - which your post seems to confirm.
I have a P.H.D (pimpin ho's degree) in Hamster Dynamics and Game Economics.
Spanish in undergrad, then I went to law school. I was already fluent in spoken and written Spanish when I started college, so I knew that would be the easiest way to get a good G.P.A. and get into law school. There was no need to try to make a hero of myself.
