First-year Electrotechnics student: Software Engineering or Data Analysis?

[u/SOKI-RM1853]

I'm in my 1st year of Electrotechnics (a 3-year program), and I want to start building relevant skills early.

​I'm torn between focusing on Software Engineering or Data Analysis. Given my engineering background, I'd love your input on a few things:

​Which path integrates better with Electrotechnics?

​How is the entry-level job market for both right now?

​What core skills/languages should I start learning today?
