I must preface this with that I take a liking to Political Science, History, and English (mostly political science). I ultimately plan to go to law school, but I’d like to have a solid major I could get a job with if I were to do poorly on the bar exam or if I were to be rejected from law school entirely. My parents and family support me pursuing a degree in what I love, but I’m concerned that my career options would be limited (if I could even get a job) if I were to pick one of these degree programs. However, these are the subjects I do best at. I fair very poorly in STEM fields (and, more importantly, abhor them) and all signs point to those being the golden goose when it comes to well-compensated employment. What sort of advice do you guys have for me? I’m a Junior in high school, so I know I have time, but I worry about this a lot.
You can get a job with any of those three majors. The vast majority of people with BAs in those fields are gainfully employed making middle-class incomes.

You are asking the wrong questions. There are 5 basic components to an undergraduate education. If you integrate these even moderately well, you will be marketable.
@NSL can you please elaborate as to what these 5 basic components are?
