Versatile college degree?

Hi all. This is my first post here. I'm not sure if this is the right place to put it, but here goes anyway. First a little background.

I'm 28 and will be married for 7 years this year. We have a year and a half old daughter. My wife works full time during the week and I work full time on the weekends so we don't have to have daycare (my mother-in-law watches our daughter on Mondays as this is the only day we both work).

My wife and I both are planning on going back to school soon. She knows what she wants to get into and already has it all planned out. I, on the other hand, have no idea what to do. There are things that I'm interested in, but nothing that I'm "passionate" about.

What are some versatile degrees out there? I don't want to get into something that I'm going to end up not liking and waste a bunch of time (I've already done that twice). I do physical labor now and make decent money for only having a high school diploma, but I've had a bad back for several years and don't know if I can do the physical stuff forever. Plus, with the exception of annual raises, I'm topped out in my current position. There is always the possibility of promotion to management, but I'm not really the management type.

I'm just sort of rambling now, so back to the original question. What are some of the more versatile degrees that one can go for? I've never been good in math (other than the basics), but I did well in most other areas of school. Thanks for any advice. I'll take about anything right now.
