IMHO, what Aerozepplin said, with this proviso. Do something that appeals to you and plays to your strengths, but make sure that it's either faintly marketable or in a field you'd really enjoy working in. Don't do a double major in Astrophysics or a Bachelor of Basket-Weaving unless these are industries you're keen about, you would be better in a more generalist area like Economics, Psychology or Business.
Otherwise (and even with specialist/weirdo courses to a certain extent) to most employers a degree is a degree is a degree. Good generalist degrees are the ones you mentioned, although Law is fiendishly expensive and you'll be paying HECS well into your old age. Med takes an awfully long time and you'll be
studying well into your old age, also many courses are now post graduate. For better or for worse, stuff like Business, Economics and Psychology seem to impress managers.
That said, despite owning one (and postgrad, also in the throes of a second bachelor degree
) I've never thought a degree is a requirement for success, or a guarantee of a great income. Depending on the industry, plenty of people succeed in business without them.
Good luck with your decision, at the end of the day there are pros and cons to each option.
Don't discount a trade certificate, either, if you're naturally good at fixing or building things (unlike me
). People who can reliably unclog pipes often do better financially (and employment wise) than people with lots of letters after their name.
