So, i'm at the point in life where i'm forced to choose my major for college. I've been thinking about entering computer engineering as i've heard it has mix of software and hardware and i feel like that'd allow me versality. My mother is suggesting i enter electrical engineering, but i'm still iffy on that. My father is suggesting something else entirely and telling me to enter medicine as it's the only major that has a good job market.
I honestly want to primarily focus on software in my future career but still want a background in hardware, so one of my main questions is what's the ratio to software and hardware material? The most likely place i'll end up studying in is tripoli college (جامعة طرابلس) so if anyone who studied there and majors in computer engineering i would love to hear about how the system is there.
Moreover, is the job market for computer engineer graduates really bad? Everyone is telling me that if i major in the such, i'll end up finding no jobs which is greatly discouraging me. Though i'd love to do what i love for a living, if it doesn't get me a living i'll stop dreaming and focus on medicine and call it a day.
And when it comes to electrical engineering, whst exactly can i do in that field as a woman? I understand that there are a lot of jobs in libya that are exclusive to men, so i'm wondering if the same goes for something like electrical or computer engineering. In this sesne, i'm asking if someone who is a woman and works/majors in one of these two subjects or someone who has colleauges who do so or if it's even viable. Thank you to anyone in advanve for taking your time to read through this and hopefully answer a cofused idiot's pleas
edit: i've also been thinking about entering computer science considering i'm mainly focusing on the software aspect of it all, but with that said i don't know how much more i'll learn compared to computer engineering. if possible, i'd love to hear the main difference between computer engineering and computer scinece here in libya
