I am blown away to see that Art History cracked the top ten on this list. My mom was an art history major, while I insisted on studying computer science, even though apparently there's no money in it. What a rebel I am! Then again, in part knowing the people my mom went to college with, I can't help but suspect that art history is what you major in if you're a bit aimless, yet are expected by your very rich parents to graduate from college.

Friends of mine who went the ivy league route could pretty much major in whatever they want and get a great finance/consulting career after they graduate. If you have some relevant internships and do well on interviews, they really don't care about your major, as long as you are smart and personable.
