No. You cannot do all three of the above as a Computer Science major unless you're really good at scheduling, because the Accounting minor is hard to attain even for pure Economics/Business Economics majors who can devote all their time to the minor. I strongly suggest you not go for the Accounting minor unless you want to graduate in five years instead of four, because even if you get into the minor, the classes themselves are competitive.

No, you do not need extra-curricular activities to get recruited by Microsoft and Google. I know students who have no extra-curricular activities, and have <3.0 GPAs, but got invited to interview at Microsoft anyway. I can't recommend either company if you plan to have a career in Business. "Business" is extremely broad -- what aspects of business do you want to pursue?

At the end of your sophomore year, you haven't taken much upper-division coursework, so you won't have many options -- you'd be lucky to even get a paid internship. Take whatever interests you most, not whatever pays the most.

No. Adequately learning another Asian language to business competency requires you to take at least the level 6courses, which will set you back quite a bit.

Can someone who's done this answer this question?

No, you should not cramp your schedule to graduate in 3 years, because not only is that extremely unlikely (you'd have to take 5 courses per quarter, for all three years -- class schedule conflicts will likely halt such a grandiose undertaking), it would conflict with your aforementioned goals (playing sports/working on the side/getting the Accounting minor/learning another Asian language). Unfeasible.

No, and no.
