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!

well good thing about CS is that you can go and work overseas, unless you want to stay in your country forever, then idk.
Future is looking a lot brigther for CS than EE

There's Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering as a course in some unies in my country where you get to do both. Maybe there's something similar in yours as well?

not an advice, but glad to see someone who isn't going into a fucking mental/emotional breakdown

Compsci student checking in, I'd argue differently actually.
Technology is rapidly advancing so the need for both of these fields is greatly ever increasing.
From what I've noticed so far, it seems electrical engineering is very limited in terms of what you can do because depending on the kind of job you get you may not necessarily be building cool interesting things all the time, nor the resources to build cool interesting thing.
On the other hand, once you learn a language in CS you can take it anywhere with free resources.
It depends on what you want to do though. If you like getting your hands on stuff then EE. If you want a career that can be your hobby at home without requiring a bunch of physical tools and expense, CS. Just looking for a high pay stub? Probably CS as well, but EE get paid pretty well from what my friends have told me.
CS is competitive though, so if you want a good job you better fuckin get really good at coding and time cost analysis.
