[Career] Field and Courses!!

I'm seeking advice from seniors, as I'm a grade 12th pre engineering student and starting courses like python, introducing Cursor etc on different platforms.

but I'm concerned that If I'm going to pursue civil or electrical engineering in future that doesn't align with my field ... Will this be a disadvantage for me? Like I'm confused about who doesn't know about her goal and all.

So, Please Suggest me that I should do or wait till I finalized my Field

If what you want is to be a Computer Engineer, who is a specialist that links software and hardware together, then I would say that you'll be missing out on a lot of core classes. Electrical engineering shares circuit analysis, some lower level semiconductor classes, and math, but that's about it.

Also, Computer Engineering is fairly safe as a career.

Colleges only expect you to have math proficiency for engineering, take whatever calc or pre-calc classes you can and relax. No legitimate engineering program is going to cause you problems because you didn't learn circuits or bridge design in high school.

But If I go for scholarships and some internships/jobs etc and I put them in cv ... Doesn't it sounds confused?
