What is the best college major to train for?
I look at college as a great opportunity to get a broad liberal arts education--arts, literature, history, languages, sciences, economics, etc. It is the best way I know to get a balanced education. Of course, it is also the best way to give yourself a start in your career. I guess majors are more important for your career. Yet, for many careers, the specific major is a lot less important than many other things. Your major will not get you a job. For that, your networking skills (and network which you may have started to develop in college), communication skills and perseverance will stand you in better stead.

If you want to go on into a corporate business career, your alma mater matters as does your academic performance. Your undergraduate major is less important as long as you are sharp, have excellent communication and quantitative skills. An economics degree is probably preferable to an anthropology degree to a bank or accounting firm. But, many executives place a value on a good liberal arts education from a competitive school. After all, networks are valuable in business and school ties can bring in business down the line. ybarra-cgm.com

If you want to be a teacher, you will need certification. I have heard some preach the value of the education degree. I have heard others preach the value of the specialized degree in the subject which you want to teach. copyright ybarra-cgm

With your present plans, if you intend to teach Spanish or ESL, I think you would be well prepared. If you want to be an engineer, you will probably need to be able to demonstrate your quantitative capabilities by majoring in a science or in an undergraduate engineering program.

If this sounds like common sense, you will be pleased to know that the world after school values common sense. The difference between 2 graduates from your school is how their educations manifest themselves in the ways they think, analyze, speak, interact with people, etc. The sheepskin just gets you into the pool of millions looking to take the next step. How you make use of the education you have acquired is entirely up to you.

So, to answer your Q directly, there is no single best major. Majors matter for some professions and they are far less relevant for others. I think to become a teacher, you want to demonstrate achievement and certification in education and in a particular field, e.g., a language family. I imagine fluency helps as well.
