I'm very hazy on what I want to major in and what I want to do with my life... however, I'm not very fond of science, or especially math, or ESPECIALLY chemistry. Chemistry actually is probably my most hated educational course that I've ever taken. I'm much more of a writer, and my teacher has always commented me on how well I write - consequently, I want to become something of a writer.
However, I'm under the impression that the only useful majors that will land you a really good job are the ones in the scientific and mathmetical fields. I hate both of them though...
What are the most useful majors that don't require much knowledge in the math or science field, and perhaps relate to my interests?

You could be an English teacher. It would be very "useful."

Well, I'm in education so that's what I know most about. There is an extremely high need for special education teachers. Each year thousands of positions go unfilled in every state because there aren't enough of us. You can teach any grade or level with the degree, and it is definitely in demand. I know a lot of districts that pay 40,000 in starting salary. Also I have not had to take that much math at all. Just the basics.

You may want to look at liberal arts or education. Be mindful, all college students have to take core classes of at least one class in math and science, but the majority of classes for liberal arts or education are not in those areas. More communication, english, and history classes would be your focus. If you are in high school, talk with your guidance counselor. If you are in college or headed there, you can go to the career center or your advisor and they can lead you in the right direction. Another way is to talk to some college students who are focused on writing and they could help you decide on the area you may want to major in. Hope that helps and I wish you all the best in your journey of higher education.

There is a lot of call for people who write well, even if the jobs are not all paid as well. You can do okay, though. Consider lawyers. While most of what you see on TV are litigators, who talk more than they write, the reality of the law is exactly the opposite - most spend much more time researching and writing than they do speaking.

Major in criminal justice and become a cop. Just hope that you never have to calculate the street value of a kilo of cocaine.

ANY undergraduate degree will get you a better job.
I agree with the liberal arts major, then get a minor in something that interests you.
