I need help :( I can't choose between Computer Science Vs Computer engineering. To my understanding CS is more programming which i enjoy but find frustrating at times while Engineering is more like building computers.
As far as im concerned they make about the same amount of money so that's not and issue, and they both dip into each other. What would i be studying thou (more physics vs math) and what kind of jobs am i looking at, like making processors or writing windows? Please give me a better explanation if someone has experience. What do you do in electrical engineering as that's part of CE.

Building computers or programing?

avoid CE im a EA in the AF and i mostly deal with civil and mechanical engineering elec falls in with civil but if your not in the military u will work for contractors and just ya... contracting is terrible imo anything wrong its comming back on u atleast with programming and building computers u will work for a firm. and if some1 else messes up its not on u always its on them.
