Re:Supply and Demand. (Score 1)

I made three assumptions prior to attending college:

• Most jobs require (or place emphasis on) a degree not necessarily one in the given field (lots of office jobs to say the least).
• Most engineering jobs require a field oriented degree. (This is also true with Doctors, Teachers, and Lawyers (some required by law but are lost if not updated))
• Most engineering degrees have a higher level of requirements (math, science, credits, etc.) than business degrees and the like (even though they might not be as specific, they tend to be more intensely involved)
  
  As a result I got a degree in computer engineering which has both EE and CS exposure allowing me to explore both fields, or at least show I am competent enough to do something non-engineering. My first job was EE oriented, and my second is strictly CS.
  
  In the end the degree just gets the attention of a potential employer, after that it's what you know.
