Computational linguistics is a field that I think sounds very interesting, at least at the surface. I love languages and analyzing the intricacies in each, like in linguistic theory. One thing that worries me is the job market, though. What exactly is entailed in computational linguistics, and is it relevantly applied to the real world?

Computer science also seems to be a fairly good option, but they seem to have boring or monotonous jobs. My brother majored in CS (he graduated like 10-12 years ago) and while he has had no problem finding jobs, he says it is not fun at all and wishes he did a different field. Based off statistics it seems most computer science majors are programmers and to me, that does not seem very fun.
