The answer

May Allah reward your diligence in seeking lawful work, and we ask Allah to increase you in guidance.

We advise you to change your current major if you predominantly believe it will lead you to work in usurious fields.

As for the majors mentioned: - Insurance: If it pertains to occupational safety and health, and similar fields, it is far from usury. However, the common commercial insurance is prohibited. - Economics, Business Administration, and Banking: Their scopes are broad and can be utilized in what is lawful or unlawful depending on the field of work, especially with the existence of Islamic banks.

Consult a trustworthy scholar in your country who is knowledgeable about the university curricula and job opportunities after graduation.
