By my estimate some 60% of the kids in college shouldn't be where they are, mostly because they have ulterior motives in attending

Though I agree with you on some points -- I have to say -- education is
never a waste. and today a bachelors degree is pretty darn important.
my advice would be get a degree that is useful for a career and that way you can at least be making money after graduation while you try to figure out what it is you want to do. I know there is a lot of pressure to pick the right major, but it doesn't matter that much. I think the internships you do are more important because a) you figure out a little more about what careers you do and don't like and b) you build up that resume. don't worry so much about the major -- but i'd say stick to English - its one of the most versatile majors.. but my opinion is biased 'cause I'm an English major
