Which is a better course and highly paid i.t., c.s., or computer engineering?
Well in terms of a better course, it depends what you want to do. Computer Science deals primarily with programming where as computer engineering deals more with hardware aspects of the computer. I myself was a computer engineering major but I switched to Computer Science because I preferred the depth and the focused concentration in programming. In terms of money CE and CS majors make about the same, the national average has CE majors making a little bit more but the difference is irrelevant. You will make good money in either field. Most times if a job requires a CE/EE degree then CS major will more than likely not be able to get a job in that type field since the in depth knowledge of creating hardware is not usually taught at CS programs in most universities. CE majors have the luxury in most cases in being able to apply for the same jobs that CS majors would be able to apply for since they do have programming knowledge. However since CE is a less focused degree in a single area like CS, jobs in software engineering, programmer etc are often favored for CS majors because of the higher depth of knowledge of programming. In regards to an IT career, you can usually get a degree in Information Science to get a job in that area, but CS and CE majors are easily able to get those jobs as well. I do not know much about the salary range for IT majors but I know they are less than CE/CS majors. In the end I suggest you should choose the path that interests you the most, because you will be earning a high salary compared to other majors right out of college anyway with either of these programs, and the salary all depends on what you want to do with your degree. If you research your career interests more that will give you a better understanding of what type of degree would be best suited for you.
