Look at your hobbies- maybe there is something you can make a career out of that is also a major. Of course money always talks, but something you definitely do not want to Do is be stuck with a major that offers almost no compensation for all that hard work. You’re also going to want to think outside the box as much as possible but in a field that has the potential to grow. If few people have this major but the field is sure to grow, what can go wrong? Assuming it fits all other matching criteria for you do not hesitate to choose that as a major. Although picking a major is absolutely imperative for the future, it is not irreversible. If you are a fickle person make sure your major is something generalized which would make switching majors less complicated. For example, switching from Economics to Finance probably would not be too terrible; but switching from Psychology to French would.
