Computer science or electrical engineering. What should i study? What would be my job prospects in both fileds?.I live in Estonia so I`m in bad luck because we dont have a Sillicon valley here and there is very little manufacturing going on, so I guess i`d better choose something completely different(like healthcare or the army), but I really want to choose either CS or EE. I`m not chosing computer enginering because I think that it offers much less jobs than software development(especially web dev), while with EE i`m thinking that i could come in handy in a variety of places, not to mention I could just start out as a simple electrician with a degree(thus more qualified and more promising career). But i`m scared to take EE because it`s engineering and I`m afraid I will suck at it, because it`s kinda hard right? Also there are little engineering jobs here, but more front end web dev jobs(which I sincerely hate).
So please help decide my future because I do hae to make a decision fast and I dont want to fuck up my life. Thank you!
You're a step away from Russia which has a huge circuit manufacturing industry and St. Petersburg isn't that far either
You have to understand though. Computer Science is just as rigorous as Electrical Engineering. It's a hard science, it uses physics and calculus in every day calculations. Computer Science isn't "I'm going to fix computers for a living", it's "I need to design an algorithm which fits most use cases but still runs in O(n) time"
But if you do computer science you could telecommute and being in Estonia wouldn't matter if you did your job well
