Hi Kerri, in my opinion, computer engineer is one of growing career fields. There is so much getting added each year that is hard to say what kind of field you will be in. Some of the latest ones are cloud mobilecomputing ai software webprogramming and can add 100 more :)

First things first!!!If we have goals and ambitions towards our career, then we won't feel boring.
Studying or working computers field is one of the interesting field and Digital technology has transformed nearly every aspect of modern life.
Digital technology means that devices can be more compact, faster, lighter, and more versatile. Huge amounts of information can be stored locally or remotely and moved around virtually instantaneously. Even the term "information" has expanded to include media such as photos, audio, and video, and no longer refers to just words and numbers.
The nature of work has been transformed by digital technology. Increased connectivity options mean that many people now have far more opportunities for working from home, as remote working becomes increasingly common. Many jobs can now be done from hundreds, or even thousands of miles away without difficulty. Without the need for all workers to be present in the same building, many other flexible working practices are now possible.
Digital technology is increasingly making machines smarter. In some cases, the machines no longer need humans to operate them, freeing up workers from often repetitive tasks for more interesting jobs. In other cases, smarter machines mean better standards of safety or a better experience for the user. Products and services drop in price as the technology develops and becomes more common. Many tasks can now be done directly by customers, rather than having to be done through another person acting as an intermediary, for instance, booking a holiday.

Hi Kerri,
I believe that there are literally hundreds of variations of work that a Computer Engineer does. If you start taking classes you will naturally gravitate toward courses and disciplines that interest you. A career counselor, which most educational institutions have, would be a great help as well. And you know what? You can always change jobs (companies or roles in the same company) once you have tried one thing if you find that you do not like it. The key is to start by getting some experience, persevering, and doing your best possible work whether it's your favorite or not.
I hope this helps a little. Best of luck!
