I get what you are saying, and you are correct in many respects. But when the barrier to entry gets that low it is because we have advanced further. So if anyone can whip up a website without know how then there will be very little in the way of profitable companies in that field, because why pay for something the next guy can cook up easily? Instead the startups in this theoretical time will be focused on creating companies that allow you to just whip up a drag and drop sites because they will be making the money, hell many companies do that now for small business that want to create splash pages, or restaurants with menus. What I am saying here is the Morse code guys weren't CS majors of today, the CS majors were EE's of that day figuring out long range radio while people started using the telephone. Money is in the next big thing not the last.

I am not trying to tell you to forget your plan, I just hope you are aware that you aren't living 15 years from now where the tides have potentially shifted. You will graduate in 1-3 years and be in the current work force that is flooded with liberal arts degrees, I have a ton of friends who have gone back to get a Masters to help differ getting a job further as their degrees did not put them in the position they were hoping. So if you would like to avoid this fate your best bet is either get in a technical/graphical program or get EXTREMELY involved starting now in the space you want to go into. Coming out of school with a BA and some interest in tech is not going to open a ton of doors, ever since the Facebook movie every person I know with no tech background has 100 ideas for apps I should build for them...and they have BA's too, they just need a "technical co-founder" and 75%.

I am really not trying to put you down, just trying to say if you want to be in a technical field you either need to be technical or work your ass off early, often, and many times for free.
