I like UCLA! :D It is fun. I am learning a lot of skills beyond just engineering and finding a community here. I'm improving my skills as an engineer and person overall.

It's hard, time-consuming, and very pressure filled, but I hope it'll pay off in the end.

I found myself at a crossroads between computer science and electrical engineering engineering. I loved the hardware and software connections and computer engineering is just that. I love being able to learn about each as I further discern what I want to study and work doing for my career.

Overall it's a good field if you're interested in getting into robotics or embedded systems. While what CE is can vary a lot by school it is generally a mix of CS and EE. At my college it's sort of like a CS degree with a dash of electronics/advanced math. The sorts of jobs that "traditional" CS Majors go for are still very open to you (web dev, cloud engineer, etc). No companies are biased against you because of your major (I have an electrical engineering friend who ended up at Roblox and a bunch of other computer engineers I know that ended up at pure software companies like Databricks and Google), so don't worry about that. If you aren't interested in pure software stuff and prefer robotics sort of things, focus a lot on projects and joining relevant clubs/project teams as the "hardware" companies really emphasize that.
