Somehow I missed this post of yours, sorry! I've always had an interest in computers, but it never really developed into a hobby or anything until I acquired a computer of my own, which was while I was halfway through my Hotel/Restaurant Management major. I decided to finish the major even though I knew I didn't want to work in that industry anymore. I learned a lot of computer skills on my own and was eager to learn more.

The point is, a lot of employers will take great interest in you if you display a lot of initiative for learning things on your own. Passion for something will show through and they're likely to take you over the guy who actually majored in it.

So your problem right now is that these schools want you to pick a major. One way to decide if you having problems deciding is to examine the requirements for each major. See which classes are required to attain a degree in that field. Find one where most of the classes make you think, "Hmm, I could do that." Another thing to keep in mind is impacted majors. If tons of people are vying for the same spot, it will be harder to get in. I think a lot of college handbooks may tell you that kind of information, or your school councellor should be able to point you in the right direction for info. Good luck!
