<p>im still in high school, but when it comes to my college major, im really interested in both computer science and mechanical engineering. i plan on getting my MBA as well, starting my own company, etc. it all comes down to my pay - in the long run, which field do u think id be able to make the most money in?</p>
<p>If you are only deciding on money, I would say ME. I am going to do CS and it is because thats what I like. </p>
<p>What would you enjoy more?</p>
<p>honestly im not sure. ive worked with computers my whole life - built my first one when i was only 11. i thrive on hearing about the newest technology and computer hardware. im the kind of guy every1 calls when they need help with something electronic. my passion for computers/technology is what interests me in computer science. </p>
<p>but then, the whole idea of engineering an aircraft or a car, using physics to solve certain equations and make something fly in the air or move down the road because of the way i designed and made it - that feeling really moves me. </p>
<p>i dont know which i would enjoy more. i want to start my own buisness, so as long as i can make money good money (200k+ annually) i know ill be happy.</p>
<p>CS. Easily. You seem much more interested in that - and you will likely be proficient in it.</p>
<p>i think you will make more money in CS than in ME. (although i dont know what you're talking about when you mention 200k+ annually.)</p>
<p>By the stuff that the OP said, I think a Computer Engineer is more suited for him. He mentions that he likes the hardware part of computers etc. Computer Engineer has to do with this specifically while CS is just software development.</p>
<p>actually computer engineer is a mix of software and hardware equally. electrical engineering has to do specifically with the hardware type stuff.</p>
<p>It is hard to really judge which major will net you the most money since both can be coupled with the MBA to make money.</p>
<p>As the others have said--go with whatever you love most. Also, keep in mind that there are some overlaps and you can do the best of both worlds. The Mechatronics side of ME deals with programming, circuits and robots, which might be right up your alley.</p>
