I also heard/read somewhere not long ago that major companies are actually looking for liberal arts grads rather than those who specialize in business,etc. because they are realizing the importance of a broad fund of knowledge, good reading and writing skills, and the kind of analytical skills developed in liberal arts education. If I can locate the source, I'll post it here.
I guess it also depends on where you want to be in 5, 10 years, etc. And, how motivated could you be if you studied something that you do not have any passion for? Ie, balancing the practical goal-oriented aspect of the decision with the tuning in to your passion side of the decision.
Is there a career counselor available to you through the college? Sometimes that can be a good resource, too, in exploring how you could apply your learning to a career.
