Keep in mind employers hire individuals, not majors. Perspective employers look for a completed degree and work experience, particularly a good work ethic. Your major and grade point average may not be as critical as they seem to you now.
Many people work outside their major and change careers several times.
Your major represents only a portion of your potential to a perspective employer. Skills developed outside your major also demonstrate your competencies and qualifications for a job. Gain experience through employment, internships, and volunteer opportunities. Participate in sports, government, clubs, and organizations. Get to know faculty who can be helpful in making career decisions, the job search process, and are excellent resources for references.
