Yeah, this sort of "what if" thinking can be really hard. Thus far, all my employment opportunities have come from resources outside of school, and I have no reason to believe that that will change anytime soon, but as you mentioned... these things can change often and unpredictably.
Regarding the music major: Music is very important to me, and at the university I'm at I'm surround by people who inspire me to do my best work. I get inspired to program by reading books, HN, /r/programming, etc, not by sitting in my classes.
