Cookee,
I have a Liberal Arts Degree (Economics) and am doing absolutely nothing with it. If your interest is in 'general business' or the like, a certain degree is not necessary. My first job out of college was as a managment trainee with a major insurance company and the other majors represented by my immediate collegues included psychology, biology pre-med, English and Real Estate. The real estate major left the company to go into Pharm. sales. I currently work in Human Resources and out of the probably 40 people with degrees that I work with, I don't know of 1 with a degree in Human Resources.
Besides, for most entry level jobs for college student, unless the company has a need for a specific, technical background (like information technology or accounting), recruiters primarily look for a good GPA, active outside of classes and good communication skills.
Don't worry about wasting your parents money. College is not just about learning a set skill, it is about learning how to learn, how to manage your time, express yourself, etc.
BTW...what is your major? What do you think you 'should' be doing and what do you want to do?
