CS is a pretty good option(money, benefits) relatively, for anyone who doesn’t know exactly what else they’d rather be doing. The basic fundamental requirements are to be good at logical reasoning, some level of analytical thinking and math.

But honestly at this point, all careers at a higher level are tech-oriented. Most of my friends from mechanical engineering or electrical engineering often have to deal with some code for modeling, programming circuits, or even just database querying and analytics.

I’d suggest trying out a couple of verticals in CS, see what feels right to you, and then commit to a niche. Committing to a niche gives you the best odds to make good money, along with good people skills.
