<p>I hear over and over again that pre-professional programs are the only way to find a job given the current economic conditions, but things like nursing, accounting, and engineering don't jibe with my interests at all. I have poor math skills and I'm not a huge science person (although I love environmental science, just not "hard" science like physics or chemistry). Writing has always been one of my loves, and ideally, I'd like to have a job that allows me to write, meet a wide array of interesting people, get creative, learn about a wide array of cultures, investigate political happenings...like journalism, except for the fact that the industry isn't doing too hot. </p>
<p>I want to know what are the most marketable, lucrative BA degrees. I'm not really interested in teaching, but anything else is fair game.</p>
<p>Have you considered or looked into Advertising/Marketing programs?
Generally speaking though, you could technically major in anything you desire(even if it’s not practical). The key to getting or landing a job or career after college is the ability to sell yourself during the interview process. So even if you don’t major in math/science/econ or the majors you listed, taking electives such as basic accounting, and econ will serve you good when applying for jobs that may require at least some business skills.</p>
<p>what it seems you’re looking for are the best non-math/science BAs.
in this regard, regular econ is relatively light in math, I only would have needed a dumbed down version of calc3 for it where I’m at. Econ is usually the fallback major for failed bio majors. The math isn’t too heavy, the expectations aren’t too high. This is at a top 40ish university. If you’re at a place with an impacted Econ program, things might be different. The next options as mentioned are basically business administration derived.</p>
