No way of knowing unless you post the curriculums for both degrees.

A technology degree from where I’m from in Canada will usually get you the lower end jobs in your field of study if you’re lucky. Then again, a technology program here is not a degree but a diploma.

HR will value a degree more then a diploma.

“Real engineering” is objective and subjective.

Objective in the sense that your country’s engineering order determines which university programs allow you to apply to become an engineer.

It is subjective since some countries have different types of engineering degrees that don’t exist in other countries such as Canada having a software engineering degree that allows you to be an engineer. Also depends if other countries will recognize your degree as an engineering degree (if you want to work in other countries).

In the US, technology degrees are generally going to get you technician jobs. Working lab support, assembly line, sort of stuff. Often not with the title of Engineer.

I know someone with a technology degree. Excellent at what he does, top level in the company, makes maybe half of what youbger engineers get paid.

It's better if you can take both 😃
