Do not assume every non-STEM degree is useless. Communication, political science, education and psychology can work if you pair them with internships, writing, research, analytics or a clear graduate-school plan. The danger is drifting without a plan, not the major alone.

I’m in high school and everyone keeps saying computer science, nursing, engineering or business. I don’t want to pick only for money, but I also don’t want a degree that leaves me stuck.

Answers & Discussion
Look at job postings before choosing. Search roles you might want and see what degrees or skills they ask for. Students often pick a major based on the class title, not the work it leads to. That is how people get surprised later.
The best major is usually the one that connects your ability with a real job path. Computer science, nursing, engineering, accounting and data-related programs can be strong, but only if you can tolerate the work. A high-paying major you hate may still lead to burnout.
