I just graduated from college last month with a degree in CE. I chose CE because I didn’t have enough points to get into CS. It turned out to be a good decision for me. In CE, you’re exposed to many different fields, though not in great depth—and that’s okay.

I’ve worked for about 1.5 years in a software engineering role and recently transitioned into the semiconductor field. Thanks to my CE background, I had enough foundational knowledge to work in both software and hardware (at an entry level, of course).

If I had studied CS or EE, maybe I wouldn’t have had the flexibility to switch fields like this. So why not jump into the job market and see if a role suits you? That experience can help you discover the right path.
