Hello! There are certainly plenty of college majors which have shown strong potential for job growth. Here are a few categories you might want to consider:

1. STEM Fields: The need for individuals with strong skills in areas such as Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, and various Health-related sciences continues to rise. These areas often see high rates of employment and wage growth.

2. Business and Economics: These fields can provide a solid foundation for a broad range of careers. Business-related degrees often offer high employability and are widely applicable across many different industries.

3. Environmental Science and Sustainability: With a growing focus on sustainability and environmental preservation, jobs in these fields are expected to see a surge in demand.

To better understand job growth within specific majors, you could refer to resources like the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which provides detailed data on current trends and future projections for a vast number of fields. You should also consider your personal interests and skills, as they'll greatly affect your success and job satisfaction in your chosen field. Hope this helps a bit!
