No one can really choose for you, you should write the three of them on a piece of paper and put them in a jar or bowl or something and that’s when you know what one you don’t want, then just narrow it down if you don’t understand what I mean let me know.
You’ll know when you go to pick one because you could be like oh I hope I don’t choose “biology” let’s say yeno.

What are your interests, and at what stage in your education are you?
Keep in mind "being good at computers" is NOT what CS is about, in fact, it's more an applied math degree where you learn programming in the end.
It’s basically what interests you, what do you want to have as a career? College isn’t a time for trying new things tbh, you want to choose something that’ll set you up for life. If you like computers and is something that you’ll be excited to doing the rest of your work life, then go for a Coding class or Computer Science.

You're making a mistake asking us, ask yourself what do you want instead.
Take time to think about your decision, seriously. Feedback is not a bad idea usually, but this is a choice that will shape the rest of your life. "Being good with computers" as an interest can lead to endless amounts of degrees. And some of those you might be surprised are not what you may be looking for.
Good luck.

Study economics. Learn everything around money. Support your country's economy. Get rich. Drive a Benz.

Cyber/computer security, web design, software development, networking.
Check the program list at your university website and look for courses you are interested in.

Computer Science majors have a very vast and diverse job opportunity and never will run dry of work, however, making a name for yourself can be difficult, as you're going to want to crush competition on your tests and take advantage of every opportunity to be able to work on something that's not based on a structured lecture (ie, regurgitating exact study material on tests). Innovating new ways to do something efficiently in programming would be key for impressing employers, find every way to stand out in a positive way because if you're just saying "uh yeah, I know C# lol, watch this" and just slap together something anyone could easily think of is not going to impress employers. I know a good portion has to match up to your interest and shouldn't always be cookie cutter strategies for employers, but you should have the satisfaction of demonstrating your program with confidence and competence that matches well with your personal interests. If you cant sustain both of these, programming may not be the best choice.
If it's one thing I can give advice on college, based on the students I've been surrounded by in college, don't waste money on it if you're uncertain, you must be devoted to your field of study and be well aware of its draw backs that may hold you back when looking for a job in your field of study.
Outside of Computer Science, don't limit yourself to only attending a 4 year program, look into 2 year programs as well to see if anything matches your interests, skills, and values. Google colleges and universities and look at their "programs" on their website, create a mental generalization of something in your head like "ok I like computers, lets read what computer related degrees they offer", or "I kind of like creating mechanisms, lets see what engineering degrees they offer" read its description thoroughly. If you see something that interests you, research every corner of the internet on it even if it's a common major such a Computer Science or Mechanical Engineering. Watch the most recent youtube videos of daily lives of the people who work in that field of study if you can find any, check your local job listings for that field of study, identify what jobs the field of study prepares you for, look at the average amount of income the field of study generates on average and see if it satisfies your needs and wants.
After that, research the college, google it and dig up everything you can find on the internet on information on it. Check their student's reviews, maybe contact a student directly or someone you know who attended that college, talk to the college's administration representatives and don't buy into them trying sell you tuition just yet.
These are just some generalizations that can help you determine what you want to achieve, once you find what you want to do, tie your long term goals or create long term goals that tie into your field of study.
As a general piece of advice, regardless of which degree programme you pursue, the value of your time at university comes from the projects you work on / opportunities to take while you're there.
I can't speak for other industries as it's not my area - as far as tech goes, companies want competent developers above all else. My degree, while technically the highest classification, holds very little weight for recruiters.

I'd personally go for computer science because of the range of jobs available.
I recommend starting with whatever your institution's equivalent of an undecided major is, and taking a couple of courses across the three to ultimately decide. Regardless of job opportunities or flexibility, you want to make sure you'll actually enjoy what it is you end up doing. Also keep in mind you can always minor and/or double major

Gender Studies is the best. You can learn about equality and feminism
Pick something you are willing to read the entire text book on. Computer science is my go-to.
You should take some time and research what the schooling is like and what possible careers you can pursue for each subject you just mentioned. Think of yourself doing something for a long time, maybe picking something with variety if you don't like repetitive work, etc..
hope this helped
