Don't panic too much about your major, just pick something you like or something you are comfortable doing if you don't know what you like. For the most part, the major is there to give you focus. Just because you major in something like Computer Science, doesn't mean you can't be a dancer if thats what you want. You just have to be great at it, and that is what college is all about. To hone your skillset and build your strength.
Now say you love the world of dance but you have two figurative left feet! However, you are excellent with computers and can program in a multitude of languages. If you used your strength to do what you love, you'd create some sort of dance program or a dance network! See where I'm going man?
I believe that's the idea Steve is trying to convey in his blog posts. If you feel fulfilled about what you want to do and use your strenghts to get there, it is a recipe for success!
