You also have to consider there are certain majors where you will get recruited into a degree-related career during your senior year-- such as accounting.
However marketing people have to fight tooth and nail for their jobs, and that, my friends, is where the internships come into play. And frankly, (and on another topic) if you are a journalism major, get a minor in government or something else, b/c anyone can learn to write in AP style-- it's having a background in the classics that will make YOU go the extra mile.
So I'd say the majors with "muscle"-- the quantitative fields, sciences, engineering, maths, accounting-- there is a good deal of recruiting. The "soft" sciences like music and communication, teaching, sorry folks, but like it or not we ARE a dime a dozen and you ARE going to need more than just a degree to get a decent job after graduation. You'll need internships and a huge sense of @ss-breaking, job hunting skills, resume writing and networking ability. We don't get recruited--- our job is not as highly skilled and in as much high demand... I'd really love to hire a coordinator who has a degree in accounting to make up for my "other half" because I'm the creative/events/designer type. Nothing wrong with that... but quantitative skills are in greater demand.
