Should I get a bachelor, double major, or masters?
To stay competitive in the work force and earn a high salary, which route should I take regarding my degree. I had three options:
1. Get a bachelor's in Computer Engineering and either do an internship or a co-op during college.
2. I major in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering and Computer Science
3. I get a master's in Computer Engineering #computer-science #computer-engineering #electrical-engineering

Agree with Joanne here. Opt first for single bachelor's, and pick up as much work experience as possible. When graduating look for good full time opportunities. If you don't find anything, can fall back to another year or two of internship while picking up a master's degree.
Regarding your specific decision, I have all three of the undergraduate degrees that you're talking about (BEE, BCompE, BS CS). It was not a wise choice, and didn't really help much, beyond personal interest.

Honestly, I think experience gives you an advantage.
If you get hired with a good employer, they could offer tuition assistance programs and your graduate degree could be free.
Work hard -- think internship, coop, experience.
