What major should you NOT go to college for?

Hello! As a college student in the middle of my career, I wanted to submit a question. What majors should students NOT go to college to study for? If you do list any majors: What do you recommend students do (instead) to pursue their career goals? I hope this question could help future students interested in jobs and help them make the most of their time after high school. I feel I went through a lot of indecision and stress over how to use my time after graduation. Let's start the conversation!
