Some sort of custom major/double major that indicates you know where the future of academics / research lies. Like mixing political science and GIS/geography so that you can do map-based research for political campaigns. Or a digital humanities inflected degree that mixes something like literature or history with computational thinking / machine learning, where you learn how to turn archival resources into giant data sets and parse them for insight.
