I did an EE degree first, then CS; I like EE and I enjoy the tinkering. My father taught me electronics since I was young (5) and I always like the smell of soldering and my hands have many battle scars. However, cs always paid so much more that I lost electronics for a while until I worked on smarter-payment card product and the other payment products we did. It was a lot of fun prototyping and optimising every cpu cycle and memory storage bit to push down the cost 1 cent at a time, but also being able to swap in and out parts to save more costs and make it more robust and better quality. I wish I could do it fulltime but SE just pays a lot more, especially as senior and I also like that a lot.
