Honestly? It depends on what you want to do more than your degree itself. For example... Do you want to teach? Go do field work? Herd cats in a corporate environment? Not everyone likes field work or corporate environments to start.

You might try googling up something like 'Geography jobs' and 'business & management jobs' or 'what can I do with ______ degree?' for more comprehensive answers. I suggest also seeing if you're willing to do a postgraduate degree, should that be the path to what you want. Some undergrad majors really do need a phD or Mwhateverdegreeyouchoose to get a good career going.

I will say that there's no 100% safety net job, so I suggest looking them both up and going with what you enjoy or can stand doing. Also, that many fields are pretty saturated no matter what you choose.

I think you should be more concerned with what you enjoy more. Would you rather have a good paying job, but be miserable, or love what you do, and not make as much money?
