im pretty conflicted. I'm in a funny situation. I am majoring in computer engineering purely or mostly out of passion (it would be a nice fall back career if worst came to worst). I am fiannacially stable and don't really plan on working in the computer engineering field. I am actaully a business/finance guy professionally. my whole young life i have loved messing with electronics and i just want to be able to tinker and have a strong compentence when it comes to electronics. what's giving me pause is the idea that once i finish my major i may not be able to functionally create electronic devices alone. I am not interested in working in teams or on major projects. I just want to be able to sit in a room and mess with and create electronic devices. is this a realistic goal? or is the complexity of devices these days out of hand for a solo tinkerer and is computer engineer mainly for those who plan to make a career out of it? i enjoy the math and will continue my education but i am considering focusing else where like mathamatics, statistic, or economics. subjects i do find interesting but haven't had the life long desire to learn.
also like i said earlier i think it is purdent to have a major that can pay for itself if my finnacial outlook turns ugly, that's another plus of CE but i really don't want to waste my time and not have a functional education just a paper that can get me a job.
im really conflicted... I am torn between desire, functionality, security, and efficency...
