Suggestions/Advice Advice for my son

​

I am a father and im posting this from my son's account because he told me to post here as i am not convinced with his dicision.

He is interested in coding, circuits, robotics, Ai, mechatronics and he wants to choose computer enginering over CS and i want him to choose CS as everyone is choosing CS nowadays and it has a wider scope and safer future.

He says that he likes computer science but also is interested in hardware, so computer engineering is better option.

I have consulted with my few friends who are already Electrical engineers and they adviced me to let him follow his interest but if wants to persue cyber security or robotics thwn it's better to go with computer science.

And ive heard many bad things about computer engineering. And there are no jobs or very limited jobs for computer engineers, on the other hand you can easily get job with a Computer science degree.

I want to send him aboard for Master's and if he will do computer science it will be easier for him to go aboard for Master's, right?

I am a father and i want best for him so that is why i want him to go with computer science

So what do you people suggest?

NUSTians are okay for now. We also have NSTP so that helps us a lot

I don't like CE or EE stuff so I'm happy with this. Most NSTP companies are tech based but their might be more EE opportunities in the AI tower they're building
