So I'm in my 3rd year of doing Computer Science Undergraduate degree and I'm enjoying all the { public static void main(String[] args) } String, Quick Sort, LAMBDAS, Programming languages sort of thing but I'm kind of tired of typing all the time. I was told Computer Engineering gives your more hands on with processors and computer equipment but getting a job with CE is kind of clustered compared to the availability to that of CS one. I want to know if anyone is doing CE major or has a job from their CE degree? I know the difference. What is like? Benefits? Do you stare at a screen 8+ hours a day? Cause I do.

Thanks, doods.

Computer Science has a variety of things to learn, it's not just about coding Mr. PCMR. Please Google before you comment something. The user that liked your post is also ignorant.

I literally doesn't matter so long as your degree is STEM you can go pretty much anywhere in the tech sector. Your degree will be irrelevant after you've worked in industry for a few years, at that point extra certs you get and your experience will get you where you want to go. I'm currently working for a small medium company and one of the perks of that is I've got to work in a lot of different areas. My main role is as a systems administrator, but I've done development, quality assurance and even technical consultancy work where I've had to visit customer sites and the career prospects are very varied, you really don't have to think about your degree holding you back at all or agonise over whether CE or CS was the correct choice as your experience is what counts. By the way my degree was CS.

How long did it take for you to complete your degree? what was your hardest class and how long before you got a job?

Super Thanks for your input! Just curious now hehe.

I'm currently doing computer science as my undergraduate right now and thinking of minoring in mechnical engineering to balance out my interest. Currently, I work as a software developer.

At times it could be boring but it's well worth it. But if you're more hands on go with computer engineering

4 years, one of which was an industrial placement where I had to find an internship for a year, when I finished the internship the company offered me a full time role that I could come back to after I completed my final year of study.
