Is software engineering the best way to break into DevOps or Cloud?

People often ask

"How do I get an entry level job in devops or cloud" and they're often told that it's not entry level

However, swe is entry level and a lot of swe jobs nowadays heavily incorporate cloud and devops skills. But since this is an IT sub, people still will say start at help desk or whatnot. But if you're in college, I still think focusing on SWE has the best ROI even if it was never your interest.

Should I quadruple major?

My uni offers CS, software engineering, computer engineering, and electrical engineering. I'm thinking of majoring in all 4 and I'll only have to spend 2 extra semesters in college. This way I will be covering all my bases. I can also do an accelerated masters program which allows me to graduate with a masters degree at the same time.

Being on-call makes me feel like a superhero

In the middle of buying a car? Boom, my phone goes off, I have to drive all the way home to put out a fire.

In the middle of a date with my girlfriend? Boom, my phone goes off. I have to leave.

Getting my prostate checked? Boom, my phone goes off. My hole can wait.

If you watch superhero movies, superheroes have to go immediately when their boss calls them and says there's an emergency. I'm basically doing the same thing
