I disagree that your major needs to be relevant to your career. What you do IN college will determine if or not you can get a job post-college.
So, if you are an aerospace engineering major, but discovered you have a love for writing and have become editor of the school paper, held an internship with a magazine, and ran events for the campus activities board, I'd think your in-college experience would speak for itself and you'd easily find a job in journalism. You might even specialize in writing for a trade journal about aerospace engineering or techincal writing. Or not all.
Whereas if all you do is go to class, socialize and eat/sleep for 4 years, you may have a degree, and have graduated with honors, but you won't be tops on my list for hiring because you have no relevant experience.
Pick your major. Change it 8-10 times if you wish. Regardless of what your degree is going to be in, experiment with careers-- parttime work, talking to professors and professionals. Then get an internship or three. Then you'll get a job.
