Chemistry IS a bad major right now, especially since the Great Employer of Chemists (the pharma industry) has dramatically and drastically reduced hiring as it offshores jobs to India and China. Take a look at the Chemjobber blog if you want to see the carnage. Even a grad degree doesn’t necessarily help any more.

Of course, any major is a bad major if you don’t like it. Better to switch now than when you’re being brutalized by p-chem!
