Wow, now I know what to study! sigh
:-( Dont worry. I've spent the past year talking to recruiters and there are other ways you can impress them even if you're not in a 'target major.'

The biggest reason why I'm building something in the recruiting (specifically entry level/internship) space is that right now, if you're not on a 'target campus', in a 'target major' or have personal connections, you're kind of screwed and left to the will of Taleo (may thou readeth dry job descriptions for hours with no response, gwahahahah!!!).

That's bullshit. It should be about talent, passion/interest and demonstrated abilities, not just BS credentials.

Where are those salary numbers coming from? There's no way new graduates are getting that much. Looking at the report they linked to, I'm seeing much lower numbers.
