hiya everybody! im in a small dillema here...see, im currently at the university of toronto in my first year of computer engineering, but im not having very much fun. the math is not too hard for me, if i sit down and study, but i hate doing it. on the other hand, i can sit down and do the programming labs and sort of enjoy myself (alot more than doing the math). also, the physics involved completely bores me (they're giving us civil engineering stuff! i can understand this, but its at the same level as real civil engineers). so, i looked up the salary difference between a computer programmer and a computer hardware engineer in my area (toronto) and it was very small (~2000CDN). this leaves me questioning whether or not i should be in computer engineering (they accepted me for both comp. science and comp. enineering last spring). so im just looking for some advice on what to do. please be specific with things like $$ since thats basically what im in uni for anyways. basically i need to know how much of a hit i'd be taking $$ wise if i switched to comp. science (which i think i'd have more fun in). btw, i looked at the 3rd and 4th year courses, they are *very* similar if i take a more software oriented approach to computer engineering as opposed to a more electrical engineering approach to comp. eng. (computer engineering at u of t is identical to electrical engineering until 3rd year, when we get options about what to specify in, and im fairly sure i'd go the software route). thx in advance for any advice
