WHat can be done with a Computer Engineer degree?is it worth it?
(OP)
Hello,
Question 1: For those who have a Computer Engineering degree or know about this career, could you please tell me what is it that you do in this field?
Question : Once I graduate, what kind of jobs would i be able to perform?
Reflexion: Since, Compute Engineer incorporates classes from Computer Science and Electrical Engineering I believe that you don't really focus on one thing, as you would in computer science or electrical engineering.Therefore, does this career serve as a tool to let you decide what you could do after college?
Say I graduate as a Computer Engineer and since It'll be exposed to Electrical Engineering, i might realize CEn is the career i would like specialize in. Same goes to Cs, since programming is given in computer Engineering, i might decide that my future life could be writing codes and creating good software. Then, i might decide to take a masters in C.S.
So from my perspective having a degree might be beneficial. But i am not entirely sure. So i go back to this topic's title. Is Computer Engineering worth to study?
Could you guys understand me what i am trying to say?
This is very important for me. I am in college, and right now is my opportunity to either change my major or stay with the one i have(CS),.
I would really appreciate if you reply.

I know a few people who have degrees in Computer Science. They work as programmers, but are not extraordinarily productive, because they are always trying to design compilers, even if that's not what is needed at the moment. They are perceived as thinking that regular programming, and regular programmers, are beneath them.
I know a few more professional Programmers. Most have degrees, but not in CS or EE; mostly math, physics, or biology. I've seen reports that music majors are also strongly represented in the ranks of programmers. Which is logical, if you consider the parallels between musical composition and programming.
I know a few people who graduated from CS/EE departments. So far as I know, most have founds jobs as EEs.
I've done a little of both, and I'd suggest that programming and engineering require different mindsets. You'll have to figure out for yourself what's right for you, but I suggest that you keep your options open; you may have to change careers, more than once, in your lifetime.

Hydraulic flow is proportional to the square root of the pressure difference.

But, if you really don't have interest or aptitude, you'll be miserable.

THank you very much for all the comments.
I have decided to changem my career to CE. Because i belive i will have more exposure to different things. This way, at the end of my college career i will know what i would like to do... being either Computer Engineering COmputer Science or Electrical engineering.
