You really shouldn’t look to other people about what to study. Don’t study something simply because it has a better chance of landing you a job, because then you’ll just be miserable doing it. Figure out what you like and go with it.

I mean, I’m not sure how we’re supposed to answer this question. If I was going to recommend a non-science major to you just based on job prospects, I would say major in polysci and tail it to law school, or get a business/econ degree. But what if you have absolutely no interest in these? Are you going to do one of these simply because some on the internet told you so?

Just find what you enjoy and go for it. You’ll succeed more in a smaller-market field that you enjoy than in a lucrative field that you despise.
