Nowadays it doesn't seem to matter what you major in - as long as you have a degree. I met a guy yesterday who had a BA in Theology and was a web product designer. Now what do those two things have to do with each other???
However, I would suggest of all the things listed above, to double major in business and political science and minor in philosophy.
That's pretty marketable and also a great start for law school, if you were ever to think about doing that.

Good luck! It's going to be a lot of work.

I am a double major in history and political science finishing up the requirements for both majors, and I have realized most people where I go to school are looking at moving on to law school, or doing something with education. With history and poly sci you have a lot of options open for you.

The only thing I warn is don't go into philosophy if you want to make money. I would suggest either doing that or the psychology as your minor. It's not impossible to do a double major and a minor like many people try to push if off to be. Just stay motivated

Your questions are pretty unanswerable. There are websites and other resources that could tell you what jobs would open up for you given those majors, but it really depends on other factors. Where you go to school, what your grades are, how you interview, what your future plans are.... etc. Plus, history, philosophy, poly sci, business and psych are all very general degrees. You could do anything from waiting tables at Applebee's to selling mortgages with Quicken Loans to attending graduate school to... well... just about any entry-level job.

Making the most money without working constantly and still being happy? That's like saying "how can I play professional hockey without wearing ice skates and still score 50 goals a season?" In the real world, making the best money seems to take over leisure time and real happiness, or leisure time and happiness mean sacrificing top dollars.

Advice: Being happy should remain priority number 1. Making the most money should be the last priority. Keep searching for the type of career in which the ACTUAL WORK would be satisfying to you. Majors aside, you don't appear to be considering that. Shadow some jobs, volunteer, get some other-than coursework experience so that you can start to form an idea regarding what type of work is gratifying to you.

That is a real hard question. I have a degree in Business and Political Science. I liked politics but went into being self-employed. I dislike having a boss. In sales you have an opportunity to make more money!
