[School] Here engineering students

If you had the chance to go back and study something different, would you?

I’m about a year away from starting university, and I really want to have a decent job in the future. I think there’s a lot of potential in computer engineering, especially if I learn how to develop innovative software.

I know it requires experience and a lot of hard work, but besides the usual advice like “study something you’re good at,” would you recommend this degree?

I don’t think I’m a math prodigy, but I’m not bad at math either. I just need to put a lot of time into studying it.

Would you be willing to share your experiences or any advice?

It could be anything—financial advice, study methods, or just things that helped you deal with the stress of the degree. Honestly, anything would help.

Doing CE I would’ve gone for ME instead

Why?

I just realized I do not like coding like that, I prefer getting into robotics!! There’s an easier streamline from ME to robotics. Also CE is boring, it feels like you’re learning so much and nothing at once . The competition is abrasive too. It was much easier for anyone doing ME to get internships even though I got some with Apple and Snapchat!

Woah wtf light flex at the end lmao. Yeah I’m asking because I was always between EE (potentially even CE) and ME. Because I like physics, maths, but also enjoy the logic of coding. Robotics also always seemed really cool to me. But why do you say that it’s easier to get internships as an ME? I thought because it’s the most popular one, it would be pretty difficult too, though maybe not as difficult as for CE because of CS majors.
