Go for real engineering, get licensed. Don't be a dumb ass like me who went for computer engineering and now competes with the whole world.

BS Computer Engineering here working in an EE field.
Almost nobody in most jobs I've worked has PE certification; not that it's a bad idea, but in a lot of fields it's not really a value add.
This is doubly true if you work in software.

U must just suck at it

ME here, The fact is kid, what you do in life isn't determined by your degree. When it is all said and done, you might be an engineer, or you might be a business manager like myself who was flown to San Fran for US navy nuclear stuff. Now, kid, once upon a time not long ago I was just like you and graduated into the recession, I didn't know what was going to happen or what I would do. I got hired and the company collapsed in San Antonio collapsed, it was rough years, life is rough. Lost a wife, lost my apartment, lost my job, I was on the streets. Then I built my own business and now I work in SD selling north of 600k/year. Ask yourself, is EE what you wanted as a child? Is that what you woke up age 5 and dreamed about? Don't worry kid, chin up, with or without the EE degree you will be fine.

I write software, I don't do hardware stuff. If you're not at the big 4s - Amazon, Google, Facebook or Facebook you're basically just waiting till you get replaced by a cheaper resource, so don't kid yourself at being irreplaceable.

The only way to succeed is to own the product, if you're working for others its basically same wagecucking.

There is no true "freedom" ever kid, freedom is an illusion. Owning your own business makes you a slave to the business. Managing a business makes you a slave to shareholders. Being an engineer makes you a slave to upper management. What no one can take from you is your mind or your soul, no one owns that, only you. Success isn't measured by whether you are the strongest, it's measured by the content of your character. Success isn't measured by how many times you get knocked down but how many punches you can take and keep getting back up. Nothing in life is guaranteed and tomorrow isn't either! Good luck kis

Unsubscribed from your shit blog. OP asked for advice not your shitty life story lmao

Is there that much of a difference between EE and ME(mechanical engineering)? From the prereqs and major reqs that I see in the uni I go to (UCSB), it seems that ME is more hands on and involves more chem courses while EE requires more physics courses.

I also got the same concerns as OP. There have been bad layoffs this year but Im hopeful that Trump will cut the cancer that is H1B visa workers substantially and force employers to hire domestic.

2nd question: best programming languages to learn for EE/ME?

Care to share your experience anon? College, degree, years of experience, current state of your life?

>>1620300
Do you even have any idea what you are getting into? It seems like your lack of information is so great you can't even tell the difference between two vastly different degrees. Please inform yourself soon before you make a decision you'll regret for the rest of your life.

>CE for software
nigga wat

Get yourself a degree in EE, but learn to code ffs. The odds are your first job will be software unless your military. Once you have enough seniority you can switch to a hardware position. The reason I chose EE is because you teach yourself most coding, but hardware requires expensive equipment and good teachers.
