I'm in my last year of college and for some reason, I decided to design my own major, and I feel like I made a mistake, I'm looking at jobs RN and feel like no employer is going to understand it at all. And that I don't really have much in demand skills? (FYI - it's a BA in community development, so kinda like urban planning but more expansive, my major Combines Social Work, Business, and Sustainability)

In y'all experience, does a college major matter much in the long run?

For some jobs, it is important. However, there are some boring white collar jobs that generally want college graduates for their soft skills.

It sounds like you basically got a BA in business with some specialization, so I would go for jobs like that.
