I have a major in English - AND a job that's related to my degree. Not all English majors are offering fries with that. There are jobs for every major; it's just that the odds are better in some than in others.
And I have a friend with a computer engineering degree and several years of Microsoft experience who can't find anything. There's no major that's a ticket to success in this economy.
That's the real problem - it's gone from a job-seekers' market to an employers' market. You need a skill in something, whether it's waitressing or being a surgeon, and even then the pickings are slim.
Are there any work-study or campus jobs open to you? What about school clubs? Your extracurriculars can be as important as your major. The English degree was good, but it was being editor of the paper that got me a job. Being involved in college Republicans can get you a campaign job. I realize this won't get you a job right away, but what you're doing now can have a huge impact down the road on future jobs.
