<p>I'm still stuck trying to decide between these two. I'm more of a creative, theoretical person, far less methodical or structured, so I'm inclined to think that engineering would probably be better for me, but I'm still not sure. How would you differentiate between the two in terms of skills needed, personality traits needed, and career options?</p>

<p>Are you a high school or undergrad student?</p>

<p>I'm a high school senior, but choosing between engineering or c.s. will impact the college that I end up choosing.</p>

<p>Pick the CS for now..that's what I did and I had the ability to move up into engineering IF I wanted...i know a lot of people who did this...</p>

5
