College major: Government
Current employer: Government
Of course it is not really that simple. I worked as a paralegal at a prosecutor's office right after college ($30k/yr), then in management consulting for a few years ($60-70k/yr), then went to law school, then worked as a biglaw associate for a few years (160-180k/yr), then had kids and took big paycut to do what I consider to be more interesting/satisfying/lifestyle friendly work as a lawyer for a state government agency ($75k/yr). My spouse (also a Government major in college) is also a lawyer and makes decent money ($140-170k depending on bonus) as an in-house lawyer for a company. We live in the 'burbs just outside a big east coast city, own a house, and have pretty good savings. All in all, a pretty comfortable existence.
I do sometimes wish I had been an majored in Econ -- I think it would have been a somewhat more useful knowledge base when I was consulting and working in biglaw (and to some extent even in my current job), but I don't think doing a "softer" major had any meaningful effect on my career trajectory (also, a relatively softer major definitely made it easier to devote time to running in college -- there is a reason we were known as "GovJocks" at my school, I guess). At least in the law (particularly with respect to getting into law school), it is way more about how well you do in your major (and, of course, the LSAT) than it is about what your major was. And, as someone else said, a liberal arts degree is really more about teaching you how to think and how to learn than it is about the particular subject matter of your major.
