Which degree route would be best?

When I was 18 and headed off to college many moons ago I majored in Finance because that's what my father told me to do to be the most successful. I   h a t e d   it and was terrible at those courses but I managed to rack up some business classes above a C.  

My advice to my teenage kids is to pursue the degree you love. The advice you have here is correct, most jobs just want the degree.

This was MY experience, too.  My dad was an accountant and was sure that was the path for me, so off I went to college in 1987 with a declared major of accounting.  That lasted until my first class in accounting.  I was and am a musician and I wanted to be a music major.  I played in the Orchestra and was on a scholarship that paid my tuition if I played in the Orchestra each semester.  I did finish, due to that.  However, my degree ended up being Business Admin and French double major and a music minor.  The thing is, I have only ever needed to check the box that I have a degree.
