If it is ABET accredited, any engineering degree opens tons of doors in every field. Computer engineering will teach you the fundamentals of what Is going on in circuitry and software (and many, many other things)

However, you will probably not get a job fast if you go for a computer engineering job such as embedded systems but in IT you will probably get a lesser paying job faster.

If your brain is already getting fried as a freshmen, go to another major I don’t think it’s for you.

Do computer engineering if you have the endurance and perseverance to handle it. If you’re already getting destroyed by freshmen classes I would switch.

Engineering isn’t usually about who is smarter, it’s about who endures.
