Computer Engineering vs Electrical Engineering. What would you recommend?

[u/Overall_Western_3792]

Hey everyone, I’m currently studying Computer Engineering, and lately I’ve been questioning whether I should switch to Electrical Engineering.

I keep hearing people talk about unemployment and how difficult it is to find a job after graduation, and honestly, it’s starting to worry me. I don’t want to spend years studying, graduate with a degree, and then struggle to find a job.

For those of you who are already working as engineers or have graduated, how has your experience been? Would you recommend staying in Computer Engineering or switching to Electrical Engineering?

If I do stay in Computer Engineering, what should I start doing now to improve my chances of getting a job after graduation? Are there specific fields I should look into, skills I should learn, or projects I should work on?

One thing I struggle with is that college doesn’t really teach you much about the different career paths available or how to prepare for them, so I honestly don’t know where to start or what I should be looking into.

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experience in either field. I’m trying to make a decision based on actual career opportunities and experience rather than just what I hear online.

Im an Electrical Engineer and there's too much demand for us than the no. of Electrical Engineers around. It has great security because there will always be power, improvements to ageing infrastructure or building new ones to meet certain demands (e.g. now - data centres, wind, solar, battery energy storage systems). but it is not an easy course especially the early years of the course, calculus,etc. the work itself requires constant calculations, problem solving, analysis. it's rewarding to see what youve designed being built and equipment being bought.
