Best college degrees for peace corps?

I am in college right now. I am now thinking about my future. I want to join the peace co rps. What degrees are most needed?

1. I wouldn't say most needed, because I don't think you need a CERTAIN degree, but here are some that would help: Sociology Anthropology (Cultural or social especially) Political Science Agriculture
2. The peace corps takes people from all majors and walks of life. I know they are doing a lot of work with computers in some of the countries, so they take many IT students. Health care is also needed.
3. I'd guess TESL, Accounting or Civil Engineering with an emphasis on water and sewage, but my experience is 30+ years old. Talk to a recruiter. The ideal major would get you into the Peace Corps and be something you could do for the rest of your life afterwards.
