why do you guys go into CS instead of computer engineering
i'm 28 and i have several friends who are being recruited out of school with a bachelors in CE, mostly to companies who just need someone to build small computers for things like Roombas and stuff.
India and China have a chokehold on the CS area, USA/EU should take back the engineering aspect of it all.

Taking EE with CS minor. Uni didn't offer CE, so I tailored my EE degree to be CE heavy. Went with CS minor once I realized how important it it so show that you know some language and knowledge of databases/algorithms.

you could have just stuck with the EE degree, CS just for personal fun
everything uses electricity nowadays, people who know how to utilize it are invaluable
because i enjoy it more
if you are looking at careers objectively for pay alone then youre making peanuts in computer engineering compared to any medical field

Decided to get two degrees.
First is a CS degree with math minor.
Will go to a bigger more prestigious university for a CE degree and will probably get a chemistry minor with it.
I want to work at a place like intel or something for a bit then get a masters.
I dont know if I want to try for a phd or not but working at a university when im old and want job security would be nice.

because I enjoy the math and theoretical work, which is why I'm getting CS as a second major on my math degree.

In CE your ability to design solutions is proscribed by hardware.
In CS your ability to design solutions is only limited by your capacity for abstraction and problem solving.
