Computer science seems like the dominant choice for me when faced with a decision mostly based on ignorance, in the terminology of decision theory. (It's at least as good as any other option and is better in at least some areas.) I enjoy the benefits of more course freedom than engineering and relatively good job prospects. If it turns out that I despise coding for a job, I can change directions via grad school as I'll be taking more mathematics courses than the minimum requirements; moreover, it may be the case that I would've hated doing X for a job for most X, but it's not practical to actually try most X before arriving at a more definite conclusion.
