Question: Need help choosing major.?

I would like to be able to write code, for interactive web sites. Such as, games and database ran. But, I do not want to choose a career that is saturated, as to not be able to find a job, quickly. So my choices are in a variety of fields; Computer Science Tech, General Education (Liberal Arts), Accounting Technology, Electronic Engineer and Computer Science Web Design. I am going for a 2 yr. Associates. I would like to learn programming languages, learn the ins and outs of database programming for interactive websites and I am a pretty good math student (staying humble, because truthfully I am an excellent math student). Thanks for any advice that may help me make a wise decision.

Answer: I am guessing your are american because I am not familiar with Associates degrees. But I do know that in Canada at my university you can take a concurrent education (taking 2 degrees at once in a 5 year time span) this usually includes taking education (to become a teacher) and than whatever else you want as long as they count as a teachable such as computer science.
