Which is the most useful, less competitive, and highpaying degree? Out of these degrees....?

Hello there. I am a freshman in college debating which degree to choose out of 3. It's a toss up between Communication Studies, Mass Communications-(specializing in public relations or advertising), or Business Administration. It's getting rather hard for me to keep analyzing over and over. I have asked people I know, talked to advisors, taken aptitude tests but am still ambivalent. The aptitude tests all suggested different fields but all agreed that I have very strong clerical, strong communication, and strong business abilities. I scored extremely high on manual speed and dexterity, manual speed and accuracy, and low on mechanical reasoning. Overall I love writing, communication, and problem solving. All of these qualities can fit into all of these degrees so I would love to get some feedback from actual human beings (not just from books, journals, and government websites.) So which out of the 3 degrees listed, in this economy, would be the most beneficial, less competitive, and high paying? Yes I'm aware money can't buy happiness, you have to love what you do, that's why I picked the 3 degrees I know I would love, I just can't choose between them. Also I wouldn't mind a job that had basic mathematical functions (after all business involves math) but not to the point of heavy concentration and with a complete fixation on it, I'm not a big math person (like most people.) I'm located in Texas, so if your from Texas I would especially love to hear your thoughts. Also if you or any one you know is majoring in these degrees or already have them! Thanks for taking out your time! ^_^ Oh by the way, I'm strickly taking about bachelor degrees! Not associates, not masters. OUT OF THOSE 3... Which is the least competitive, highest paying, and practical. I'm not under the impression that there are some jobs that aren't competitive. ALL jobs are competitive. I'm asking OUT of those with one displays those characteristics I'm asking. Also when I say high paying I mean decent, to where you don't home everyday complaining they should pay you more. *which Salary wise decent to me means: Beginning - 30,000 Middle - 40,000 Top- 50,000

1. You won't find a high paying, non-competitive job. Let alone one with just a Bachelor's degree. The most practical is Business Administration.
2. Honestly dude, in this economy, I'd be surprised if you got a good paying job EVEN WITH a bachelors degree.
