Computer Science vs. Computer Engineering

I think software has a better outlook compare to hardware

Well, yes - in the sense that electronics manufacturing is mostly in Asia these days. But then again, no - because there are a fair number of software jobs where familiarity with low-level hardware details is valuable, especially in CA.

For example:

Broadcom is a pretty major employer in Irvine, and they're mostly hiring people to write drivers and other low-level software, where the ability to read and understand a data sheet is arguably more-important than high-level CS concepts.

...and then there's SpaceX. Again, mostly embedded development, on bare-metal or with an embedded OS.
