is a degree in computer engineering worth it?
but im fairly bad at math
should i go for CS or IT instead?

The CS program I am in isn't exactly light on math either. We're required to take Cal 1, Cal 2, Discrete Mathematics, Statistics, and Linear Algebra. None of these are exactly hard if you just put in the time to practice and study.

just put in the time you lazy fuck
math isnt the hardest part about computer engineering

ive taken college level algebra and statistics
personally im only eyeing the computer engineering degree over CS for the title of engineer si ce my brother is a doctor and im sorta intimidated
Christian Hall
im more than willing to work desu

Well, I can't exactly vouch for this, but I've heard that Computer Engineering degrees aren't regarded as highly as either EE or CS degrees, because you only get about half of each, and don't dig in enough to be useful in either field to prospective employers. I say suck it up and do CS.

Don't bother. Go be a code monkey instead.

do it if you wanna work on processors or if you wanna know in depth how computers works (useful for low-level programming). You will learn C and assembly. Comp.Eng is also useful for hyper performance computing since they know how to optimize computer usage.
If you wanna program lot of stuff, make compilers, learn lot of languages,work on theory of computers, etc go into CS.
There's no math in computer engineering. There's some electrical engineering stuff but that shouldnt be worse than CS.
Never go for IT unless you're pajeet.
Ultimately depending on your projects you can go into programming with comp.eng degree and you can go into comp.eng jobs with a CS degree.

IT has less math than cs, both get the same job. Your average dev job wont be using much math if any
