Two degrees…But you’d do well to pick one over the other and just concentrate on that one.
I was an EE and left that for CS due to a large number of factors:
- EE jobs are fewer and far between here in America as our manufacturing and thus design left for overseas.
- There’s many, many more CS jobs than EE.
- When you hit 40 in EE…You are effectively done with your career. You need to either retire or switch careers. With CS you can last a lot, lot longer and much, much easier.
- CS is more fun I found. I could think up 3 significant improvements to my code first thing in the morning and have 2 or all 3 of them done by lunch time. With EE stuff, a single small change can and will take MONTHS to wind its way through to production. Thus, innovation in CS is much faster.
- You can do CS easily remote…Not so with EE.
