It depends on what you want or expect out of a job or career.
A business degree is good in that it is versatile. Most of the employers out there are businesses and there are a huge variety of areas to specialise in, such as computer business systems, accounting/ finance, marketing, sales, human resources management.
Get a business degree and you will always have a job.
However, business is not so good if you really have a strong desire to do something specific. Engineering degrees are great, but your skills are somewhat more specialised so you are vulnerable to getting fired if an industry has a downturn. (Just look at Boeing, where aircraft engineers and workers have been fired and have zero chance of getting a job in their field as new plane sales are low.)
Trades are always good. High tech auto mechanics is in very strong demand, as most people want to get a job where they do not have to get dirty.
Skilled computer technicians/programmers etc will always be in demand.
I would suggest, though, get as much education as you can while you have the chance or money. Get a wide variety of summer jobs and keep your options open for the next year or two.
