It depends on your school and what you are learning. My advice is to take classes that you want to learn and don't worry so much about finding a job with your degree. College should broaden your mind and introduce you to new ways of thinking. I made the mistake of majoring in an IT degree. Besides the obvious problem of it not being Computer Science, it is incredibly outdated. I wish that I would have done a liberal arts degree and worked on tech on the side. I have learned so much about myself, life, and what I value from taking classes like philosophy, literature, etc. I really wish I would have realized college was about more than getting a job earlier so I could have switched majors.
