College Majors

I still haven't chosen my college major yet, but I keep reading articles that basically discourage anything that I have interest in majoring in...which is anything related to the arts and humanities.

I originally went in to college thinking I'd to an International Politics and Economics major with Studio Art as a minor, but now I'm considering Philosophy, Sociology and Architecture.

And then I see this...

Like, how are you supposed to randomly be able to switch over from being good at/enjoying photographic arts to accounting? I would think that there may be a small portion of the population equally happy in both, so they should probably default to perhaps a more lucrative major, but for the most part, all these articles keep recommending is like either Computer Science or Accounting and I hate those things.

I feel like I'm frustrated by these articles because I feel a bit stressed out about deciding what I want to do. I always keep wondering if I actually have an inherent interest in what I am considering (Philosophy, Architecture, etc.) or I simply like an isolated class that I have taken. It also seems like if I take any of these majors, I won't have a job or something, which, rationally is untrue. But even if it were, I would rather do something that I like than do something in pursuit of a job.

At least that's what my naive, yet to join the workforce, and idealistic brain thinks.
