majors that have lots of jobs out of college usually involve a lot of math and science (CS, Engineering) or don’t pay very much (you can become a child psychologist for a k-12 school out of college, but don’t expect to make more than like 30-40k/yr)

Also, UCLA was ranked #1 in musicology iirc.

If you plan on going into film, going to USC would probably be a smarter idea. That alumni network would probably pay off there. You have to decide what you want: a major that you love, that doesn’t have the best job prospects; a major that you don’t but does and requires a lot of math; a major that you think is ok, and offers jobs prospects, but they don’t pay very much.

it ultimately depends on how you look at college: is it some experience for you to learn and grow as a person? a means to get a job? both? that’s something you’ll have to decide.
