A master's degree in computer engineering could give CS a run for its money. There's enough overlap with CS that a Computer E grad student can learn as much CS as they like, while still having job prospects in a bunch of nice hardware-related jobs. And really, computer hardware is just plain fun.

- sketerpot 18y agoMy hardware will probably break your software. Beat that. This is actually one of the drawbacks of learning both hardware and software: when something breaks, you can never say that's not your department. You can get away from that by simply buying stuff from other people, but you can't always trust it; I was using some off-the-shelf hardware yesterday that literally exploded. Like in Star Trek.
- jacoblyles 18y agoI guess that is what separates software people from hardware people. You say "my homework literally blew up yesterday". I think that's a little scary, a hardware guy thinks that's pretty cool.
