I think the best thing to do is 1. Figure out what you want to do after you graduate and THEN 2. Choose a major. You definitely won't be able to teach band with a liberal arts degree. You won't get a job in health care with a liberal arts degree (maybe in Human Resources, but nowhere else). You have to figure out what you want to do. Seeing a career counselor wouldn't be a bad idea because there are aptitute/interest tests you can take which may help guide you in figuring out what you really want to do. The job market is very very tight these days (especially in this area) and employers are looking for very specific things. I can't see a liberal arts major getting a marketing job in Michigan. There are too many people with marketing degrees. My dad had a degree in Sociology and ended up the Administrator of Marketing for the GM Parts Division, but he admits, 35 years later, that in this day and age, he would NEVER hire someone who came in with the credentials he started with. There are too many people with degrees out there. Times are changing. And, I think if you're really not sure, then a double major could be a good idea. An education degree with major concentrations in poly sci and music, so you can teach any of the above, or move into other arenas if you want to.
