I feel like every major is useless.

i’m sorry, but it sounds like you just want a lot for a little.

no math/science, undergrad degree, six figure income, helping to change the world, no grad/professional school…
i guess the only part of that sequence that baffles me is the six figure income bit…why six figure? what’s wrong with 80,000 or something? anyway, as student35 said no entry-level position (even as a resident out of medical school) gets that…if you get that after 10 years and you’re not in I-banking or medicine or law or something similar, then you’re one of the lucky ones. but yeah, trust me, i’ve looked for a major that can give the things you listed. in addition, i’ve heard from many people that employers view the bachelor’s degree in the same way that a high school diploma used to be viewed—basically everyone has one and it doesn’t make you stand out. i’d say get a lot of work experience NOW while you’re still in school and that will definitely give you a boost and move you to the place where you want to be in the future :)
