Instead of trying to pick something that is recession-proof (no particular major is recession-proof, by the way, even if all those stupid articles will have you believe otherwise), why don't you just take some classes at your future college/university and then decide what you really love? Psychology isn't the most lucrative major in the world, but I love it and love to study it. And I was recruited by management consulting firms...who don't CARE what your major is.
Truth is, major choice is not intricately tied to success in the future...some majors will teach you skills that others will not (like if you know you like working with computers, engineering and computer science are better choices than philosophy and English) but honestly, most jobs are open generally to all majors. What matters MUCH more is the kind of experiences you get in undergrad. A history major with 2 summers of internships at McKinsey will get a consulting job faster than a business major who played Halo all summer.
