Advice for a CS major

I am a CS major and I need to pick 8 of the following classes for my final year.

Which of these will help me get a job in finance? I was told to pickup ML and Data Mining since a lot of hedge funds needs those skills.

P.S. Add Web Technologies and Data Science to that list!

The research project is mandatory so it doesnt count

Also why not Data Science, Computer Graphics or Robotics (because of the low-latency programming)>
