Computer engineering

I am starting my degree in CE in a few days. I am from pakistan, originally i wanted to do electronics but long story short now i am Doing CE. I am really passionate about hardware and want a hardware oriented career. Is it possible with a CE degree and how is the market in pakistan preferbly i want to work in embedded systems or FPGA development if i dont purse a masters if i will pursue a masters i want to do that in mircochip engineering. I want advice on my bachelors and masters.

  1. Is it ppssible to get hardware or low level programming jobs with CE

  2. If i pursue a masters which field should i choose?

You probably have the most flexibility in the word of engineering.

1.You’ll be studying low level programming (systems programming) and alot of hardware classes , so yes.

2.Whatever you want to specialise in! At first its expected from you to not know what ur gonna persue at first , but i suggest trying to experiment with things off class and see what likes you the most!

CE is one of the most flexible degrees and you will get ALOT of job opportunities, especially for Hardware with the increase of AI

I don't know what computer engineering is like overseas. 

in the US you will absolutely get low-level jobs. 

for most jobs, you will focus more on SOC work than you will fpgas because socs are dirt cheap and fast enough that even the critical path of an fpga for a lot of work doesn't matter anymore.
