which one is more marketable/versatile?
can you get a job from just getting a bachelor's in either one of them?

I'm sure you can get a job requiring one of the two degrees with either degree. A statistics major and an applied math major have the capacity to know almost the same things, depending on concentrations.
 
lol, so do you think statistics is a useful degree, if you're unsure whether you want to go into engineering/IT or business?
 
... I think every degree is useful. What do you mean?
 
well...you know what i mean lol
