Is a computer science or computer engineering degree worth it?
omouse: Get a computer science degree. There should be almost no difference between the two aside from maybe more hardware things on the engineering side.Just remember that computer scientists used to build their own machines, compilers, etc. They were flexible in terms of what they worked on and you can be too. You just have a lot of reading and work to do (but that's true no matter what degree you go for...if you don't put in much effort, you won't get much out of it)
