whats the most bankable degree for ba

Seriously I know your not even kidding about the tech field. I worked in it for about 2 years and burned out 6 months in hilarious .
One month you need this cert and by the time you get it, its obsolete. Then you need to study for the next one. Then the employer scratches that database and moves onto a new system because the outsource idiot during lunch mentioned it. I was looking at the business one as Gary mentioned but god do i hate numbers. Im happy in the field of social service dont get me wrong. But i know so many masters degree level therapists right now working at restaurants to make money. DYFS in our state for example isnt even hiring and yet we have over 900 kids per county on a norm needing placement.
People are interviewing for driving positions in my field with BA's and Masters degree's. My family needs me to make money in the next two years not 4 or 5 years from now when i would get my phd in this field.
Well enough of ranting im off.

IMO, it's better to find something that will never go away rather than chasing trends. Fields that revolve around healthcare, food, water, power, education, business management, etc. may have their ups and downs but they will always be necessary. (Yes, I count good leadership as necessary as electricity. )

Computers and tech fields are iffy. Of course technology fields are only ever growing, but the specifics are constantly changing. To wit, the knowledge and training possessed by a new graduate today will be obsolete in 5 years. It's important for anyone in any field to be constantly training and adapting to new developments and the changing world, but for tech guys it is far more critical than most.
