very few careers care THAT MUCH about your undergrad degree. Plus, as any business major should know, the "money making" degrees are crazy over saturated, and mean much much less than people like to think.

You are more than your degree area, and employers know that.

edit: also, LOTS of english degree holders wind up doing well in law school, for obvious reasons. legal work will always be among the most in-demand and financially lucrative.

No. Employers don't know that.
They see your school, your major, your GPA, your activities & experience...
...maybe if you're lucky they'll skim the cover letter you sent

Numbers don't lie. Choose any site like this, it's the same (Ctrl/cmd+F = "creative writing")

If we're talkin bout degrees AFTER bachelors, okay, but that's why I asked...
