What should I do?

[JetBlack69]

Hi everyone,

I have a problem in my life...I can't decide what to do with it. I'm a freshman in college and I want to major in something that has to do with computers (either computer science or computer engen.) I love computers, but I suck at writing programs, so I will probably choose to major in computer engen. What can I do with a major in computer engen? I don't want to be a computer repair man all my life (sorry if I offended anyone.) What I really want to do is work with designing better or new components for computers. However, what happens if I suck at doing that? Then what will I do? What else can I do that involves computer hardware?

If you work for a hardware company, what did you do to get there and what is your job? Please answer. Thanks.

P.S I will probably edit this later because I'm rather tired.

why don't you double major in buisness and computer engen. can't really go wrong with that. i know someone thats filthy rich as a comp hardware distributor and stuff.

computer engineering follows a very similar curriculum to electrical engineering for the first couple of years. I'm EE, but i know several comp eng'ers that have gotten EE-related jobs...they just specialize in computer hardware, embedded microcontrollers, etc. So i'd say comp eng is a good choice, and has a much less programming-oriented approach than CSE.

ask yourself if you really love computers......

yesyesyess... MIS, that's what you call it. or CIS. whatever your school calls it, that's what it is.
I'm MIS, and I love being in this major
comp engineering can be hard too... my friend is dying in his software engineering class...
