<p>so right now I'm still exploring possible engineering majors that I want to declare. I'm thinking about either electrical engineering or computer science. I like electrical engineering because I want to work with companies that develop electronics or computers someday. On the other hand, I'd like to start my own business someday and I read somewhere that software engineering can be very profitable.</p>
<p>try computer engineering, where you can learn about digital electronics and programming. Then you can have more flexibility about whether to pursue a software or hardware career later.</p>
<p>@drakea Choosing CS over EE because you feel like CS will make you a better entrepreneur is not a great idea, in my opinion. Do whichever you think you will have more passion for, whichever one you can be better at. Either way, learning stuff related to entrepreneurship is going to be mostly extracurricular (i.e., outside the regular EE and CS curricula).</p>
<p>…and you can start your own company with an EE degree (not only with a CS degree).</p>
<p>No, I’m fairly sure that entrepreneur licenses are only granted to CS majors with rare exceptions.</p>
<p>I mentioned CS because software engineering has fairly low investment costs and good profit potential depending on your idea.</p>
<p>Actually, you don’t need a full CS degree to know about software engineering. EE is so much about building skill from the previous course that one needs the full EE degree. It is very possible to have a software engineering emphasis (consisting of a set of CS courses) that can included in either an EE or CompE program.</p>
<p>No need to do EE AND CS.</p>
