The best advice I got was to choose your major as if you were going to die at graduation. And I'm an entrepreneur, not entirely just guessing. I studied literature first, because I liked it; and I ended up in software. If you study what you like, that will help you figure out what to do when you're on your own. My literature led to Journalism, business writing, MBA, and then starting companies. And I was always better off for studying what I liked, when I was in college. Business skills are easier to get than straight education. You should major in whatever you want to study, what you like.

It really doesn't matter what you study as long as you are not wasting your brain matter on classes that don't move you toward your goals.
