I will be majoring in astrophysics in college, but am not entirely convinced by my major selection because I think it will restrict me to fewer jobs than, for example, a physics degree. Is there really a difference in what I major in if it's related to STEM?

I'll be graduating this year and am hoping to major in something that I enjoy that could provide financial stability in the future.
