definitely Computer Science.


computers are already everywhere
real robots could be the automobile/television of the 21st century. (not the primitive robots we have today. think: advanced artificial intelligence)
computer science itself is basically the study of algorithms. in a way, it’s the study of efficiency, or at least efficient math and problem solving. that’s incredibly applicable to our future.
money-wise, CS grads are way up there. (at my school, CS is the highest paid major, with an average of about $75K/year, for your first year out of college)


like many other majors, CS grads don’t necessarily stick to CS jobs.

I also read somewhere that M.S Computer Science grads from a certain school were receiving ~25 job offers, even during 2008 recession.
