what university courses here would be most valued by an employer?

Hey fuck you, your the kind of person who is clogging higher education. Fuckin listless millenial. No one just gets a random "job" from some "employer", life's not a test. Theres no qaulification that allows you to recieve money. If you aren't interested in anything that might lead you to a high paying job, than settle for low wages. You might not understand this, but I come from the top, I was born into an well off family. Money is not something you want to aim for. Only the poor think a fifty dollar steak is better than a good burger. All you should desire is happiness. So if you want to go into banking, hate yourself for 20 years, retire with a wife who you never really loved, and move to the fucking Faroe Islands, go ahead, nobodies stopping you. Ask yourself what you really love, because marine biologists love fish, game devs love to play, and economists love numbers. But a faceless worker in the ever-shrinking generic whitecollar "business factory" of your imagined future loves nothing more than his fucking couch. Is that where your real passion lies?

Not OP, but I've "chased my dreams" and ended up dropping out of a humanities program at an elite university because it was so full of shit.

OP, from my own searching around, I've noticed that the only major that results in easy, high-paying employment these days is Computer Science. Type in "Software Engineer" on indeed.com and compare that with "High School Teacher." You'll notice a huge difference in salaries and job openings... anyway, if money and fast employment are all you care about, that's probably your best option.

Guy you responded to here. CS is good now but it has a bad longterm outlook. I'd say within five years you can't expect to get a decent job while competing with indians that can do the same thing cheaper (and yea I know outsourcing isn't great now but india is already setting up educational infrastructure on par w/ the us, won't take long until its fully operational).
Anyway I've said my piece. Most CS majors already love programming, so going in there just to get a job might be a huge mistake and a waste of time. Try to get a taste before you go in for a full course.

Art classes.

Life science, nursing or midwifery. It seems to be their only field that isn't poop.

hey paddy, if you're going to Trinners, then it won't really matter what you're studying, especially as your folks are probably loaded.

The ones that give you work experience.

STEM subjects train you for a specific job and make you very employable - a kind of elegant version of going to a trade school to learn plumbing and becoming a plumber.

But what if there are no plumbing jobs - or more likely, too many newly trained plumbers chasing them?

Non-tech majors don't point you to any specific jobs, but they also don't limit you. Except for purely technical fields, most business will at least consider a liberal arts grad. But the carch is that you have to sell yourself harder, on the basis of your skills and personality, rather than on your narrow training.

Even in STEM now you have to work hard to sell yourself. Getting a degree and high GPA isn't enough, you need other things to go along with it. Since you have to do everything else on top of getting a degree, it's arguable that the better way to go is non-STEM, since you're not narrowing your opportunities.

The degree is important for what TYPE of job you get, but in terms of making sure you get one at all, the really important thing is to have a CV full of
>work experience and internships
>actual jobs
>clubs and societies (some with responsibilities)
>languages and preferably coding abilities
>high marks throughout education

You forgot volunteering and research.
