Help with finding the right major.
I’m currently applying for university and already know which one I’ll be attending, but I’m stuck choosing between majors.
Architecture appeals to me more because I like the creative side of it and the idea of designing spaces. I also found out it involves very long studio hours, which is something I don’t fully dislike because it would keep me busy and away from home most of the time. That does matter to me because I’m in an unhealthy family environment, so being occupied with university work and not being at home often feels like an important factor in my decision.
At the same time, I’m aware that this is only a short-term solution, since university eventually ends and I still need to think about long-term independence. I’ve also heard that architecture can have a difficult job market at the beginning and that salaries can be quite low early on, which could make it harder to become financially independent or move out later.
On the other hand, computer engineering seems more stable and flexible in terms of job opportunities and salary, especially in the GCC region where I live.
So I feel torn between choosing something I’m genuinely more interested in day-to-day, versus something that might offer more stability and independence in the long run.
I really need support and advice on this
