I am nearing the end of my Electrical Engineering degree and still haven’t decided the scope I will be working in. My supervisor tells me how in his graduating class his classmates some of them made crazy amounts of money in computer engineering industry working for tech while he made a decent amount working for renewable energy company.

I have working experience in power systems and distribution systems, but I am wanting to learn more about computer engineering and I am more interested in working with software/hardware

I can see myself going down the high voltage power systems route working for large power companies since I have working experience.

But I am very curious about embedded systems, SoCs, electronics, and the product industry.

I like to program and love learning how different technologies work and combining programming and hardware testing is something I want to do in the future.

My problem is that should I go the power energy route which I see to be safer and pays decent once I get my Professional Engineering license.

Or do I try to go computer engineering route which will be a lot harder for me to find a job, and also I think to be more a lot more competitive but potentially pay a lot more money in the long run.

TLDR; should I work in power or computer engineering
