You won't have to worry about "difficult[-y] staying competitive in this field especially as I grow older" because you won't even be in the running without the CompE degree. Unlike computer science and software engineering, there are very few jobs in computer engineering that will take an applicant without the degree seriously. You could switch to software development but people are piling into it like there's no tomorrow and most jobs there are just as boring as anything else.
Take a sabbatical semester off beforehand to recover if you have to but finish your degree.
- slategruen 5y agoI forgot to mention it: although I've been studying computer engineering in university, the tech industry in my country is quite limited to software. While there's a handful of semiconductor companies here, very few from my university work there due to lower salaries and slow career growth. So while I might be qualified to work there, it would probably be more practical for me to go work in a CS/SE field.
