What are the best carrier majors in civil Engineering?

What are the best carrier majors in civil Engineering. I am a student aspiring to venture into civil Engineering. It could be confusing sometimes to choose a major in Engineering Due to the fact that they’re varieties of field to major and right now I don’t know if I should major in structures or concrete, plus I am very good with building designs so right now I’m confused on the right path to go considering the fact that I really want to study engineering. Please can someone help narrow down the options so I could pick a more relatable course
