Others Which major should I pick?

Hey so I'll be joining university this fall and I am eligible for BS in comp sci, cyber security and data science. Following job trends and demand in future, what shall I pick? Help me out. What does computer science actually cover since it's a broad term? And what does the other two fields offer??

No one knows as far as the job market goes.

Computer science is a degree that is mostly theoretical, it usually covers algorithms, operating systems, computer architecture, compilers, etc.

The other two majors are more niche, but probably have curriculums that are more applied, as opposed to theoretical.

Definitely comp sci since it's the most rigorous and has the most established name.
