Or gender studies. I still don't know what that is about.

You can also try philosophy so you can philosophize about why this choice was bad.
Who tf hires someone with a degree in philosophy?

Honestly? Pretty much any major corporation or financial institution. They don’t care what you have a degree in so long as you have one. I have friends who have majored in history, sociology, philosophy, etc. all gainfully employed in a range of jobs from HR manager, to network engineer, to our COO at where I work that double majored in literature and music appreciation. They just came in after getting their degree at a low level entry position and worked their way up over twenty five years. Same with my best friend, graduated with a sociology degree, came into the company as a contractor doing server builds, was then hired full time as a backup administrator as no one likes working backups, and then a year later applied out to a business analyst position and is making six figures in a low cost of living state before the age of thirty. The specific degree only matters in very specific jobs, otherwise no one really cares except that you have one.
