General answer: anything that you're interested in.

You are in the middle of a large body of water. Swim towards any island that looks close. Make sure you get to an island before choosing a different one to swim to. You'll find that becoming a stronger swimmer was the main benefit of the journey.

Personally, after 10 years in the industry, I'm convinced that psychology is going to be extremely important in the coming years. (But maybe this is a budding middle-manager in me talking.)

Yeah, agreed. I've got a load of what Americans would call "liberal arts" under my belt and do tech for non-profits.

If you like cars, study automotive design and go work there. Ditto anything really.

Domain knowledge is a real differentiator.

The CS+X model that CMU, Stanford and UIUC pioneered is the best middle ground imo.

You need both technical AND "liberal arts" skills as interdisciplinary study is a fundamental part of CS (and a major reason the field even became a thing - look at the work Turing, Simons, etc did).

Tbf I did a double major in CS and Government years ago so I have my biases.
