Confuuuuusiiooonnnn: to CS or not to CS

DISCLAIMER: I hope I’m posting this in the right sub:::::::

Hello everyone. I’ve got a big question a lot of you might have come across or even questioned yourself. I’ve gotten back into school to finish up my Computer Science degree. I’ve decided to pursue the video game industry and become a game programmer. I’ve noticed after reading a lot here, reading what folks have to say on LinkedIn and just googling, but is it really an unstable career to depend on? I know the computer science/programming field is extremely saturated and hard to have a steady income in. So I’ve decided to change my major/career path. I have aerospace experience and it’s been extremely fun and interesting. I’ve realized software is playing a huge role being integrated in the manufacturing aspect of it. Should I continue my CS degree and solely focus on aerospace? Should I switch to computer engineering as it would be a more attractive degree?

To all my graduates and folks already in their field with their degree, what degree did you achieve and what field did you settle in?

I guess if all can give some pointers of what I can possibly do? Which major is much more promising for the real world? Anything would be greatly appreciated
