>>11527560>is computer science overrated?Yes
>does it pay as good as engineering degrees in for example electro or computer engineering?Degrees don't pay. Jobs do. You can find a shitty job as a CS graduate as much as you can land on a shitty job as an engineering graduate. The market for engineers and computer scientists will also change entirely based on where you live. Also, all your reasons for doing CS are very stupid.
>supposedly the work for the degree is not as hard as in lets electro, while the pay is similarStop being a lazy fuck. You'll be a very sad man by the time you're 26 if you think you can live by the mindset of putting minimal effort and getting the good prizes. If you attend to university for a CS degree just because it is easier, I'm afraid you'll have a rude awakening by the time you get BTFO by hard working pajeets when looking for jobs. You'll get lucky if you even get to be a code monkey.
>in computer science, you dont have to compete against boomers as much as in electroYou'll never compete against boomers, kid. There's a reason why they're called senior engineers, while you'll be hired as an intern or a trainee. Boomers compete against boomers, newbies compete against newbies. Boomers will be your bosses and supervisors, not your colleagues.
>its easier to become an entrepreneurIt's easier to become a mementrepreneur*. You know the kind. Silicon Valley wannabee that has the new startup that is going to change the world. There are thousands and thousands of idiots like these, and they always flop because their ideas are shitty, they have no clue on how to manage a company, and all they know how to do is impress boomer VCs that scroll their Facebook feeds with their index fingers. In engineering it's harder to become a mementrepreneur, as you'll get laughed off by experienced people as soon as you present them your silly idea.
OP, I'm not trying to shit on you because I'm mean, I'm being honest. You should rethink your career plans.
