So I want to end up working as a Software Developer/Engineer. Considering that for the longest time I wanted to do Mechanical Engineering but recently decided that Software development was better for me I want to do a less meme route and go for Computer Engineering. Is this a viable route to get hired as a soft dev and will it prepare me enough for the job? My other routes would be a CS and Math hybrid major (not dual) or just saying fuck and studying CS. Any opinions? Advice? Anybody in a similar boat?

My advice would be to go fuck yourself, in the ass, with a corn cob covered in Tabasco sauce and broken glass

>CS
abandon all hope ye who enter
cs is really fun but i'm kind of wishing i picked something else.

Why do you say that?
>>9131149
because i don't want to be a software developer anymore. and besides an undergraduate-level understanding of math, it's the only marketable skill i have.

what do you want to do? you said you're having fun but you still dont want to work as a soft dev?

i'd like to do something math-related. if it were earlier in my career, i'd probably have done a physics/math major instead, but i'm getting older and i'm still a student, so it's far too late for that. i've run out of time, options, and motivation.

OP, don't do CS unless you're going to grad school or want to work for some kind of research institute. I entered the workforce this summer and in general, the CEs at my workplace are better programmers than the CS grads, AND they know their way around firmware. A CE from my uni even got hired as a web dev at google.
Do CE and learn whatever popular languages aren't being taught as classes on your own time.

Just take some actuarial exams. CS degrees are fine for that.
Math degrees are memes, anyway.
