    Nutrition. Hands down, a joke of a major. It's why most kids looking to get into med school take it, it's so easy to end with a 4.0.

    I'd go with corporate communication. If you want to be the laughingstock of both the business and communication schools, take this.

    Figure out what you enjoy doing in life(If you can't figure it out there are tests that you can take which can help you decide). I'm a Finance major/Economics minor right now. I'm just a sophomore so I'm still taking the entry level classes but I enjoy working with money(Who doesn't?). But someone who posted earlier nailed it right on the head. Find something that you enjoy doing. If you really don't know what you want to do then maybe you should spend less time "Dicking around" in college and more time figuring out what you want to be in life. If you have over a 100 hours and have no idea what your major is then what have you been doing the past 3 1/2 years? Also make sure with what ever major you chose that you have some sort of connections in the working world. For example next summer I'll be working DC as a financial consult. Getting a job is more about experience than knowledge. As they say in the Business world...It's not what you know but who you know. But to me it sounds like you've wasted 3 years worth of money. Hopefully some of the hours that you've taken will count toward whatever major you end up picking.

    Journalism.

    Figured if you like posting so much on here, writing essays and articles for class wouldn't be too difficult.

    I had an internship (unpaid cold-calling) for some guy with Merrill Lynch Private Client who had originally gotten an HRM degree at U of H. He said right out of school, he was an Assistant Manager at the local Four Seasons making $25,000; so he regretted it and decided to go into Finance. That might've been 15-20 years ago, though.

    I knew this girl who was in school for 4 years, her parents told her she needed to graduate. A year later she had a sociology degree. It wasn't the first time I have heard such a thing, i.e. Communications, political science, environmental science. True story.

    It's def not the easiest.

    LOL at the chemistry suggestion. I got thru chem 1 & 2 but it wasn't pretty and organic is supposed to be really tough. Same with chem lab..

    I remember some of my friends were joking about majoring in "gym" back when I was in high school. Then one of them actually took it when we got to college, I think it was health or something? I'm not sure, but he said it wasn't as easy as he thought it would be.

    I was sure that kinesiology would be mentioned more often, which is what I think this is.

    You might be right, but what kind of jobs could people even get this with besides a personal trainer and a gym teacher? I think my friend eventually wanted to be a PT or something.

    I would rather major in Comm.

    I was a PoliSci/History double major, and it was not "easy". In my final semester alone, I had to write over a dozen papers (at least three over 10 pages). I enjoyed my undergrad education immensely, but I definitely had to bust my ass off.

    The fluff part of communications (PR, marketing) and nutrition/exercise science are definitely on the easy side.
