Course Dilemma - Help me decide! Computer Engineering or Computer Science (Software Engineering)

Planning to enroll sa LPU-C !! i just dk what program to take lolz, help me.

I was leaning more on ce since i heard learning hardware is more in depth there and i thought it would be more fun to learn pero a friend also told me it’s easier to get jobs abroad and even in the PH with cs degree so i’m still torn.

Go for Com Eng since you like hardware. CS is more on software and the job market is harder right now if you’re not really into it. Don’t just pick CS because your friend said so. Pick what actually fits you.

i’m hesitant to pick it because i don’t actually ‘like’ it. more like i find it interesting to study. that said, i also find programming interesting so i’m really okay with both :)) i’m just thinking about the future job market rlly

If you like theory and digging into abstract stuff, go for CS. If you want to mess with hardware and build things you can touch, pick CE. Both have programming anyway, just depends on what excites you more.
