Dude the problem is that I have no idea what Computer Engineering is and that is why I dont know if I like it, Networking is cool but Cisco can sometimes get pretty boring and I have seen some statistics showing that Networking jobs are not that good since people are not paying them as they are suppose to, help?
But thanks for the comment

CS: little bit of everything, chip design, network use/design, lots of programming. With this you can be a programmer, and admin, a network tech, whatever. You need lots of math and physics for CS and those above in this list. Figure 5 years in school.
