What's better, Computer Science or Chemical Engineering?

[Deleted member 27550]

I don't know which to go for. Both seem rather interesting

What pays more?

Not sure thats my problem.

Do some serious self study on both before deciding.

I'm sure libgen.is has books on both subjects

CS by far because:
More demand
Better pay growth/career progression
Learn skills you can use to build your own app/business
many WFH opportunities

CS requires more theoretical thinking though, chemistry is mainly memorization.

Thanks for the insight bro. My only issues are that

- CS is oversaturated
- CS is probably a boring job since all you do is code all day
- With CS, you can have 400 lines of code and you can have everything correct but if you're one letter off then you get a whole list of errors. But ChemE is mainly memorization and more straightforward.

CS is definitely becoming oversaturated at the junior level but if you're competent you'll be fine. Once your past junior level you'll be drowning in job offers.
Most jobs are boring. Idk what chemical engineers do but I really doubt the can slack off to the same degree programmers can. They probably have to go into a laboratory.

That one error thing happens sometimes but that's why code testing is a thing. You can just test outputs and you'll quickly find the root of the problem. It's not a guessing game usually it'll only take 2 or so attempts to fix it.

If chemical engineering doesn't have these issues definitely go for it
By the time you graduate CS it will be way more saturated

What do you have interest in the most is what matters, if you’re doing a degree u got 0 interest in you won’t Persue it

chemical engineering pays much more but cs is easier and has the small chance to pay higher than c.e

They're both good but I think computer science money mogs chemE

Tf you on about? CS is leagues above ChemE in terms of pay.

you a cs major?

harder to find job though due to oversaturation

And what would be the best major currently if one could choose between ANY?

Based on the ChemE subreddit, they struggle to find jobs too. And CS / Software is growing, its the future, chemical engineering will probably go down the path of Petroleum engineering.
