you have to define "useful"
Does useful mean you'd use your major the most in practice or as a form of credentials to get you to the next step? Credentials is usually more helpful than the actual knowledge itself in order to get to the next step in the first place.
To me this question is too generalized because, depending on what field you decide to work in, some majors are better than others while some majors have a broader spectrum of fields than others. An english major can be applied to lots of different places but a research technician will probably look for a specific major of study when they hire.
Job security should be a major concern because tons of jobs will be outsourced to India like some types of engineering and accounting. Basically, you should hopefully make sure what you can do can't be outsourced.
