<p>Hello, I am a 23 year old who was forced to leave to school and get my GED due to medical issues. I had always wanted to study CS and pursue a career as software developer/programmer but of course was unable to for a long time. I just returned to school this fall at Northeastern University's College of professional studies, due to my schedule and the fact that it is hard to get into universities with a GED.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but so far my searches on the internet have turned up nothing and the career advisers at my school have been less than helpful. </p>
<p>I started without picking my major because all I really knew is I wanted to do something with computers and programming but my school only offered a computer engineering major and not a computer science degree. Also, I was unsure if I was intelligent enough to pursue an engineering degree. After reviewing the page for the major I noticed it offered a specialization in Software development. It seems to cover most of the major programming langues.</p>
<p>Computer</a> Engineering Bachelor's Degree | Degrees in Computer Engineering Technology</p>
<p>Would this be equal to a CS major? Would I be looked at as a software engineer/programmer with this on a resume? I am very unsure about this being new to the college scene. </p>
<p>I know that CS is more for programming and CE is more considered hardware design side of things (which I have very little interest in). But could I get the same jobs with these 2 degrees? </p>
<p>I know that I am intelligent and most importantly stubborn enough to over come any hurdle if this can help me to achieve my dream. Thank you!</p>
