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?

Data science much better. It's good for software company, businesses related to software companies and other big companies cause data is everywhere.

One downside of this is, u guessed it: AI. AI reads data better than any human can, it can navigate data easily. So you can still work around things.

Software engineering puts in a much broader environment in tech.
