Most underemployed majors according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey

If you want to get a job, get one of these degrees:

1. Computer Science, Data Science
2. Information Systems / IT / Information Science
3. Engineering
4. Medical
5. Business Administration (top universities only)
6. Law (top universities only)

Other majors will suffer greatly unless they're lucky.
It could be that other majors were created to torture your life and steal your money.

95% of people should go to college to get these "employable" degrees.
95% of people shouldn't go to college to get other degrees that make them unemployable.

If 95% of college students only pursued those options those fields would quickly become oversaturated and no longer be as employable/high paying.

Also, while I agree those are great options to study, they are not realistic options for the majority of college students. Medical school and top law schools are notoriously difficult even for the best/smartest students and also notoriously difficult to even get admitted to. Traditional engineering and CS programs(though alt credits and some online options have made CS more attainable) are generally very difficult even for people with a good attitude for those fields. The advanced math alone is not realistic for the majority of students to learn(which isn't to say people can't achieve things if they put their mind to it.) IT and business programs generally have options at both ends of the spectrum as far as difficulty and career prospects. 

Believe it or not, the world runs on more than just doctors, lawyers, engineers, and technologists.
