^True. Just because it's the "in" degree to get, doesn't mean that's your first priority. Business in the real world is mostly trial and error, intuition, logic, experience and straight up luck with a bit of genius thrown in. You don't need a business degree to be a good business man. There are some amazing arts or even science fields that can land you a great career and make you a balanced individual.
Poli Sci with an Econ minor is a good combination, graduate with honors and it'll look great on your resume and you can get into any decent firm. Phil + Poli / Crim to go straight into politics or law school. Geologists make some CRAZY money (my ex worked in an auditing firm and she saw payrolls- crazy earnings potential), biology and down the line medical school if you like the sciences (if math isn't your thing, avoid physics which goes without saying). Sociology and get a marketing diploma from BCIT to work in a marketing firm...another option is accounting, which is super stable and won't be going anywhere. Computer science with CogSci, and you can be working on artificial intelligence related stuff, Philo + English/History to be a teacher, editor or writer, Kineseology and MsC (optional) later with a CSCS certification and you'll be making bank + working with top level athletes if you're an active person, Psych degree to make latte art...the options are endless!
