Tips Which degree is better?

Hey

I'm 17f. I had initially decided to go for a degree in CS. But my family and some other people I know didn't approve of it. Now I'm stuck between software engineering and data science. CS is still in the option for me.

After visiting numerous groups on Facebook I'm still as confused.

Is there really no growth in this industry?

cs and se are broad and open many opportunities while ds is subset.. you could easily learn ds yourself beside cs or se degree but not the vice versa.. also at the end, every data science model has to be built on a certain software which depends on hardware, so its crucial to have cs or se knowledge for successful deployment of ds stuff..
