Hi, so I am going to apply for college soon and I'm really debating between CS, computer engineering and electrical engineering. I do enjoy coding and making stuff but I don't really know if I like where the CS field is heading. Just to be clear, if there was no AI, job market or oversaturation issues, I would choose CS in a heartbeat. I love tech, and it's my main/only passion, but to me CS is starting to lose its light. It feels like the field is just Claude, prompting and trying to conserve tokens. Like I don't mind using AI but at this point it doesn't really feel like I'm "coding" or doing any of the CS stuff I enjoyed or was passion about. Like I'd love to actually make and design things and work with and develop tech and code while doing so. But at the same time I'm only really considering CE or EE because CS isn't looking too good. So considering this, would it be better for me to go with CE or EE instead or am I overthinking it or something.

It kind of feels like I'm considering engineering just out of fear of CS not working out, but at the same time I'm trying to be realistic. It's not like I hate software now but I don't want to devote myself into something that might just become AI babysitting in the future.

Also, does the CE and CS job markets compare, and if I do go against CS how should I choose between EE and CE.

I don't have any genres that I specifically play, but I guess I like games that have action in them. Like my favorites are Resident Evil 4 Remake and RDR2. I really enjoyed both.

I did not really like Silent hill 2 for example, cuz it felt so slow and boring just checking rooms for what felt like most of the game.

Here's what I finished:

cyberpunk, cod ww2, gta v, re 4, rdr2, expedition 33, re9

These are my unweighted overall average from all my years:

Freshman: 96.1 Sophmore (2 APs): 95.5 Junior (4 APs, 2 Honors) : 92.3

And for math this year I got a 82% right now in honors precalc. I am going to be majoring in something like CS or Electrical/computer engineering, both of which are math heavy. So will this hurt my chances a lot? Is there anything I can do now?

I am taking ap calc ab next year, and I did take ap cs a this year with a 99%.

I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hello I am currently taking 2 stem courses AP physics 1 and AP CS A. There are 2 versions of AP CS A in my school, one being a harder experienced, and I am taking that one. The thing is I don't know which of these two teachers to ask for a rec. Both of them are nice BUT my physics teacher is new to the school and this is his first year teaching here and he's like a newer graduate. Now I don't really know either teacher but I know my physics one more, I asked him a few questions and participated more in his class. For my CS teacher, she has been at my school for a much longer time but I don't really know her and never participated. My grade for CS is like a 99 and for Physics it's like a 92.

I am going to major in like CS or electrical or computer engineering and my CS teacher would probably be able to talk more impressively about some of my ecs like my projects because they are computer and CS related and she use to be a software engineer. Also whereas my cs class was a single period everyday my physics one was a double everyday so I spent 2x the amount of time with my physics teacher and was cold called on a lot.

Still, just to be clear I never participated that much in either class, in physics I did participate quite a bit more but it was just cold calling while in CS it was very rarely. Given all this which teacher should I ask for my stem rec? I tried asking my GC for advice and she said that colleges would rather hear from my physics teacher. (Also whichever I don't ask for a rec I'd ask for a rave instead).
