Do some sort of business course, they are awesome to have.
Your choices seem good but if you want an interesting class, take Anthropology.
It's really good, but a lot of work. But you seem to do a lot of classes that take work anyway.

You should take at least one psychology course (I'm not saying this just because it's my field, lol) if not a few different ones--I'm not sure what all psych classes your school offers, but for sure at least take at least one. It could come in handy if you hope to go into the CIA/FBI even if it is with computers. It's good to know about other people's behaviors, why they may preform such behaviors, how to prevent behaviors, etc. It's also a good thing to have under your belt because you learn A LOT about yourself and you're also often taught how to prevent yourself from burning out.
I think the classes you have picked out to potentially take will provide you with knowledge you'll need down the line in one way or another.

Actually, he didn't say that he was definitely taking AP psych/sociology. He said, "classes im thinking about taking in 10th grade." Hence why I made my statement encouraging that he take a psych course and multiple ones if possible.
