I'm no expert, and I'm in another country, but I would believe that the best opportunities for a career would lie in Computer Science :D

Thanks to HiddenVenom for the sig!

It all depends on two things. What you are more capable of doing  and what you would personally prefer.

And how much money you really wanna make... I mean, if you want to have fun at a job, and don't care about making hundreds of thousands of dollars, and all you want is enough for you to survive plus a little dispensable income, then by all means choose the job you like. Otherwise, if you really want loads of money, choose the one you believe will be most capable of making you lots of cash. But then y ou gotta also factor in what frostbyte said: what are you better at?

another thing to keep in mind that computer technolgy can get outdated when your learning in collage
However today I was brutally raped by a door handle, and none of my friends helped me up off the floor after ten minutes, instead they all teabaged me, all 10 of them...

@ Justin- I wanna make money :D thing is, i love computers but dont really know the diff between Comp Sc. and IT.

@ Frostbyte- I'm good at computers but the education system is a lil different here so we dont really have much exposure to electronice and computers as such, all the stuff i know is self learnt.

@ Atomic- Dude, i've narrowed it down to these three from over 15 choices. these are the ones which interest me. i wish i could do all three :D

@ MarioParty- I plan to get certification in .Net , Java , etc to keep myself ahead of the pack...


So basically lets narrow it down, and now the question is :
What is more relevant : Comp Sc. or Information Technology.
I do want to pursue something like product/UI designing after B.Tech so help me out......

i am biased but I can tell you what I would do if I could do it all again.  Personally I think electronics is the best place to start if you want to do product design or consumer level products.  From there I would do my masters in computer Sci because that is where you will be able to bring both worlds together, which is a hot commodity in manufacturing these days, which is where the biggest job market is.

But if your into computer apps and programming probably electronics would be a waste of time as you could end up not using it, or even worse not liking it.

I guess you should think about ultimately where you want to end up.  With electronics engineering you will be working on real tangible things with a real shop and real tools in addition to computer work.  With comp sci you may end up in front of computer for the rest of your career typing data base software or something lame like that.  not that there isnt cool things with comp sci, just that I have a lot of friends that went that route and it seems that the job is more of a paycheck then something they enjoy doing.

All in all you probably wont be making a bad desicion eitherway you go cuz its just an education, and ultimately you can do whatever you want when it comes rigth down do it. I know 2 people from working in the real world with graduate level history degrees that are working in cutting edge engineering fields as engineers :boxed:
