MIS, Accounting, or Finance?

I'm a little conflicted on which ones to choose for my major. I will be attending UT austin, and because they only allow one business major, I will have to decide on what to do.

I could do accounting, and assuming I get my CPA, the likelihood of working at a Big 4 company seems very good. UT's accounting program is top notch, and it would be a shame not to utilize that resource.

I've also been looking into MIS, and it interests me a lot. I'm very interested in tech, and the job outlook is very prosperous. However, it seems that there will be a lot of competition with the other majors (CS, IT, etc.)

Finance is very approachable, but I'm afraid of the competition that's ahead. I don't know whether the field will change drastically within a few years. The way it looks, finance opens wayy more opportunities than the other two majors, but I feel that there is a big trade off at hand.

I would like to know your opinions, and they matter to me very greatly.

Also, I plan to minor in computer science. If anyone knows anything about a cs overlap in a business field or how useful it would be than please provide feedback.

Thank you in advance.
