If I had it to do over, I would have majored in accounting or some form of engineering. Engineering gives you a platform on which to take the patent bar, which makes you pretty marketable. Accounting gives you a platform on which to become a CPA as well as a JD, which makes you pretty marketable. In today's legal market, marketability is everything.

There is no need to major in pre-law, many schools do not offer such a major. A very common major for law students in political science, but there is a wide variety. Sometimes a particular major or type of major is needed if you want to go into a particular type of law. For example, to practice in patent law, a B.S., at least, is generally needed.
