(Germany, 21F INFJ) Law/Econ or Computer Science?

I dropped out of my CS degree because it was just too much for someone without prior programming experience.

Now I’m questioning whether to pursue a Bachelor’s in the path of Law and/or Economics or try to learn programming by myself and then pick up the CS degree again.

I enjoy both subjects equally (maybe CS a little less because of the trauma lol). My concerns/priorities:

I come from a blue-collar working class family so I have neither contacts nor a clear idea of the job market for either degree;

Therefore job security is important because I really have to begin working right after (or even during) the degree;

Job offers for CS are clear enough (“software engineer”, “cloud administrator”), but for law and econ I’ve no idea which keywords to look for (or even which jobs exist at all);

I’m fluent in four languages and I really enjoy intercultural contact and communication. Being able to work in the international level would be my dream.

One the one hand, law and economics isn’t as STEM heavy as CS, however at least in Germany you really need contacts with different law firms etc to jump into the job market, something I’ve no idea how to do as a 21 year old.
