What should I major in, Accounting or Computer and Information Systems?
Can you be a Software Developer with a CIS degree? Will Accounting be automated?

Liberal Arts and minor in Gender Studies.
Flip a coin for it.
No seriously.
Assign each major to a side and flip a coin.
After the coin lands, wait a few minutes before looking.
You will know which side you want to see.

Welcome to the central valley.
The only safe jobs are service jobs where you're performing labor that isn't easily automated, and those are going to have fierce competition as time passes. Coding and software design aren't going anywhere YET, but it's only a matter of time before computers are powerful enough to generate their own software, putting all but the best and brightest out of a job. Obviously important things (and the software that generates other software) will probably still be written by hand, but I am willing to bet you that common software will simply be generated because no one gives a shit about efficiency in software anymore; if it runs, it's good enough. If you get a job in the service industry or some specialist trade, you're probably safe for another 15-20 years, enough time to stock up supplies to ride out the storm. If you do get a coding job, don't expect it to be your career for life; shit's just not going to happen. Don't be some Silicon Valley chucklefuck who spends every cent he earns on housing and loans.
As soon as unemployment hits ~30% the economy will start to crumble and we're all fucked (it's so cute how they try to fudge the numbers by only basing the unemployment percentage on people "actively looking for a job" so people that have given up trying to find one aren't counted). My advice is to go move somewhere with a cheap cost of living, plenty of rainfall, and at least decent internet. If you live in the western US, get the fuck out of there. The entire area is going to be an arid wasteland once all the glaciers supplying water to the area are gone (soon!) and you deplete all your groundwater. Build/buy a house somewhere with few/no neighbors, install a rainwater collection system, groundwater pump for backup, solar panels, wind turbines, and a then stockpile non-perishable food items. When you're buying batteries for your off-grid power, assume they'll last about 10 years and have spares in the house.

>Can you be a Software Developer with a CIS degree?
With few exceptions, you don't need a CS degree to get a programmer/developer job. I personally know people with degrees in General Studies who have gotten programmer jobs. When most employers list a degree as a requirement, they mean any 4 year degree. If they require a 2 year degree, they'll say it. Again, it will probably be any 2 year degree.

Will computers really code themselves? I always thought programming was the only thing that couldn't be automated.

No job is safe from automation, it's just that some jobs are less unsafe.
whatever you do you should not expect to be doing it for 40 years.
