Hey guys! Recently accepted my offer for Waterloo EE! But I’ve been talking to people and I heard that CE AND SWE are often better at making boat loads of money, especially during coop terms. My question is, should I stick to EE if I want to maximize the ratio of job security to money, or attempt to switch to CE/SWE? At Waterloo, EE and CE have essentially all the same courses up until 2nd semester 2nd year, so I doubt it’d be all that challenging to swap. SWE would be a little harder but I’m sure I could manage. I don’t really have a preference for curriculum.

What do you guys think? Thought I’d ask the pros lol

Going to Waterloo in the fall for engineering. What are my odds at getting placed at CMH if I rank it 1st? These are some factors that might impact my placement are that I already have a roommate lined up and we are both stream 4 engineers. Odds?

Got into EE a few days ago. How is the program? I saw some statistic that only like 15% of EE students could find a coop cycle 1, what’s up with that? How’s the content? What about the people? I also got into McMaster Eng and UofT ECE, which is more worth it? thanks yall!! Just still so surprised I acc got in
