A "useful" major at an average college vs. a "useless" major at a renowned college?

<p>I'm torn between whether to transfer into International Business at San Jose State University, or Asian Studies at UCLA. I've always wanted to go to UCLA, and I much prefer the school, but it doesn't seem to offer any majors that would be useful to me in the future (that I qualify for, at least.. my GPA is 3.72). Whereas SJSU is somewhere I never wanted to end up, but it offers me the perfect useful major. Considering future job prospects and graduate school prospects, what do you think would be the wisest decision?</p>

<p>Oh, and Health/Engineering are not for me -- the only "useful" major I'd want to pursue is anything Business related. I'd love to go into Asian Studies if it wasn't for how hard it'd be to get a job related to it after graduation :( To be honest, I don't love Business but it's the only useful major I could see myself doing and not hating.. The only reason I would go to SJSU would be because of the job prospects of that major. u__u</p>

<p>And I'm sorry if this is offensive to anyone -- I know there's no such thing as a completely useless major and it also depends on what you do with your degree, but it's a lot easier to find jobs with certain majors.. T__T</p>

<p>Any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated ^^ Thanks all!</p>

<p>Is there no way you can change your major at UCLA? Why didn’t you apply to Cal Poly SLO?</p>

<p>Why don’t you apply for Business Economics at UCLA? Its not full fledged Business Administration but its the closest thing to it.</p>

<p>^I’m not qualified for it, honestly… The average GPA of pre-econ majors at UCLA is around 3.9 X’D Super super impacted!</p>

<p>You know a lot of people would argue that International Business is also a useless major, considering many jobs have skilled employees go abroad for business. You shouldn’t turn away from your dream school because you think IB would be a more useful major.</p>
