With accounting, you could go to work for one of the Big 4, put in your couple of years and then go into more lucrative consulting in the private or public sectors, or get your CPA.
I'd add to the list: most business majors including finance, accounting, marketing and management, data assurance, but also anything dealing with environmental science/policy, i.e. green policy will be a big/lucrative field in the future.
To some extent, any major is marketable, when you consider the power of networking and how you present yourself. I will give a completely non-scientific anecdotal argument:
I have two older sisters. Both are in their early 30s. Both work in consulting/contracting. Both make six figures. One has a Bachelor of Music (Performance) and one has a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication. Of course, they have both had respective employers pay for graduate studies, but keep in mind this was after they had their current jobs and resulted in a higher salary, a larger knowledge base and more applicable skills.
Now you can draw your own conclusions, but they both got first jobs through networking and family friends, put in their time with their initial employer to establish a stable work history, a larger network, and valuable skills that were transferred to a new job. It's about who you know, increasing your skill set and making yourself an asset to your current employer or your next potential employer.
