What college major do I choose to waste my money the least?
inb4 "college is a waste"
inb4 "do what you love" I've fallen for that meme before
I'm thinking business major?
I am not going to say uni is a waste.
I did it and i don't regret at thing. In fact i am going back for a Masters.
But don't bother if there isn't anything you actually want to study or you at least want to learn in general. Or less you will get nothing out of it.

Plus you'll probably do really poorly. You know lack of motivation and all...
That being said. A Business major can be pretty versatile, especially depending on which kind you get, but they're generally all pretty decent for getting a job in almost any industry.
If you are just starting college just take different classes that will meet your core requisites. It's not like you need to lock in a major yet.
To waste your money the least, go to CC, do two years there while you figure out what you really want to do.
Every major has its pitfalls; your business degree can get you anywhere from HR executive at a Fortune 500, or a shift manager at the local Target.
STEM degrees aren't the be-all end-all they're made out to be either. If you want to make bank in STEM, you're going to have to have some serious maths skills, and a decent work ethic to pursue what limited jobs there are.
Honestly, trade schools for STEM fields aren't that bad. Machinists and techies make some solid money, while having decent job security. Plus, the job market for them isn't that saturated.
Or, if you're a loner, get a CDL and start trucking.

Medicine. Engineering. Business.
Biomedical engineering is a thing, now, too.
Don't do law. Too many lawyers, and will be for a long time.
Also, as someone said, trade schools are good starts and can ease you into an engineering profession later. Electrician to electrical engineer, for instance.
If engineering, make your peace with learning a lot of math. I'm in electrical, and you can't properly analyze anything other than a resistive circuit without differential equations.
