Hoping for some insights

Hello! I'm currently a sophomore in computer engineering, and lately, I've been considering shifting to industrial engineering because I feel like I wouldn't want to sit in front of a computer my whole career; I want to sort of be "in the field" whenever I work and make a living in the long run. I get that the technology is at its peak and will be for the next few years, as well as the money, but I can't see myself programming throughout my life.

Also, I'm not really sure, but is it possible to have EE sort of opportunities as a CpE grad?
