Well, probably a biased opinion here, but Computer Science + Economics would open up a few more doors than, per se, Philosophy or a language. Yes, it is good to know another language, no doubt about it. But in the end, the jobs you’re interested in most likely won’t require you to know more than English.

Depends on the job. Imagine natural language processing and localization in the tech and games industry, for example. There are lots of localization jobs and they’re hard to fill because of the necessity of CS + a solid grasp of a language.

I agree with the advice to go for something you really like/love. None of these choices is a bad one, particularly since you are already majoring in CS. If you are going to do all of the work to get a double major, why not make the second one something you like?

Also, CS is a liberal arts major, too. The liberal arts & sciences include CS and math, physics, biology, chemistry, etc. What you mean is you are considering a social sciences or humanities major
