<p>what is computer engineering exactly and what would a person be doing in the real world?</p>

<p>How is the pay and job security compared to the other engineering fields?</p>

<p>I have been interested in engineering for a while and have built over 20 computers during highschool. I am just curious how this goes I guess.</p>

<p>Hmmm how odd. The search button seemed to have disappeared. Alright then, here's a primer on CmpE:</p>

<p>Computer HARDWARE Engineers are among the highest paid in all engineering disciplines. BS CmpE new grads at Ga Tech had a average starting salary of $57k in 2006, which if I recall correctly is about $2k higher than the national average.</p>

<p>Job security is comparable to other engineering disciplines, and IMHO not any worse than other professions.</p>
