Another thing to add from what ive heard. Is that majority of employers don't know the difference between CompSci, Software Eng and Comp Eng. So basically they're grouped together as a catergory for programming which most business look out for. Though seems kind of crap imo to be writing up programs for business

Yep, and you probably don't want to be working for those employers :P

Truth be told, the distinction doesn't exist outside the mind of students and certain more deluded academics. Graduates from all three programs are on average equally useless for just about anything ; p

it's easy to confuse seng and comp sci, especially since comp sci programs in some unis are a lot like seng and vice versa, but comp eng is pretty different and you can easily explain the difference to someone.

What we learn in all three are pretty useless on their own, but that's how it is with most degrees.

I admit I exaggerated a bit - my comment is only true if one goes into "IT". In fact Comp Eng is by far the best of the three - at least you see some maths and physics and may be able to do limited digital circuit design. In any case, if you want to concentrate on the engineering side, EE/physics or EE/maths are vastly better choices. "Service" courses in those areas or worse yet ones run by engineering department offer little but brain damage.

aw dang lol
i was heading towards software engineering but now im not so sure
so confused.. argh!
