Computer Science-specialized or general direction

I am still unsure of my specific degree within computer science. There are a lot of directions to go. How do you decide what direction to choose in this field? Are you shown all possible directions in early years of college?

Computer Science Online Learning vs College degree

Since COVID is having an effect on campus learning I was wondering if computer science degrees are absolutely needed or will companies consider self taught or online learning the same when hiring?
