International Student OPT --- "Directly Related To Your Major"

International student here. I'm a computer science + math (not applied math) double major. I'm afraid that my major can't get me OPT and H1B in the future since "Optional Practical Training (OPT) is temporary employment that is directly related to an F-1 student’s major area of study." All the international students from my school used ECON major to apply for banking OPT. Any thoughts?
