I am a person who likes studying about fixing,joining and playing with objects.
However cnsidering the many merit points that computer engineering has over electronics engineering(in terms of salary,placement,level of diff.)..I'm confused.
Also the fact that comp engg. has some amount of hardware attracts me to it.
Please help!(I'm sort of a perfectionist.)

What stage are you in in your education? Many universities have identical courses of study in engineering for at least the first year... so I'm thinking you have lots of time to decide.
