Are you confused about the difference between a major and a career? Because I have news for you - hardly anyone pursues their major as a career, and this absolutely goes for the "good" degrees too.
From example, from OSU's physics department's page:
[quote]It's important that you understand the career options available to you as a physics or engineering physics major. Common job titles for physics and engineering physics bachelor's degree recipients include:
Accelerator Operator
Applications Engineer
Data Analyst
Design Engineer
High School Physics Teacher
IT Consultant
Lab Technician
Laser Engineer
Optical Engineer
Research Associate
Software Developer
Systems Analyst
Technical Specialist
Web Developer

Half of those don't even have anything to do with physics - and that's pretty normal. Finance companies also tend to be stuffed with physics majors.
You undergrad is rarely about your career, that's not the point.
