I double majored in English and philosophy because that was what I wanted to study and the kind of school I wanted to go to. I didn't expect it to help me get a job, and sure enough it didn't. I ended up doing a mix of non-programming employment and moonlighting as a consultant for several years until I had enough skill, discipline, and network to become a full-time consultant a couple years ago--which was when life kicked my family off a cliff and called, "Hope you figured out that flying thing!" Thankfully, I've been flying since then. So if you habitually choose your life based on what you think is best not easiest, and you have some reasonably well founded confidence that you can make it work out regardless, study whatever you want to study. Just don't expect anyone to give you credit for it until sometime after you don't need their regard.
