Default Recommended Majors?

I know it's probably too early to be worrying about this but I'm going to be a freshman at USC this fall and am currently an "undeclared" major. The only two subjects I found interesting in high school were history and statistics. I don't want to major in history b/c I want to make a decent living (be able to get married, have family by 30) so statistics seems like the best option. I have heard that actuary is a good profession but that it involves plenty of algebraic math...which I am thoroughly medicore at. Any advice/disses would be appreciated...

Don't base your undergraduate major on what job you think you want now, because you will probably change your mind at least two or three times.

More importantly though, undergraduate education shouldn't be about job training. It should be an opportunity to expand your intellectual horizons, meet cool new people, and bang lots of girls. So major in something liberal artsy, then go to grad school and get a real job.

Since you are going to USC just major in something. There is such a good business network of USC grads who do secret handshakes and mutual rimjobs for employment that you will be fine working in any industry as long as you have a degree.

I'm a senior right now at JMU, which is 2 hrs southwest of D.C.. Trust me when I say either get a major in computers or a business major. I would suggest business with a minor in something computers. That is where the world is heading. I'm sure USC has a great college of business. I double majored in kinesology and business. My business concentration was management and my kin one was sport management. I'm on the 5 year plan so it wasn't hard at ll. I wish I would have taken some computer classes, but it's to late now. Good luck with whatever you do.
