Well, I'm attending a 4 year college and having a bit hard time deciding my major. I hope you guys can clear my head or something. I'm not smart at math, however I do well and get them once someone explains it to me. I'm not total clueless, if I try hard i get them..goes for everyone i guess. But, you can say average. I love computer and learned a lot without anyone's help since day one. I always worked my way no matter how hard or how clueless I was. So, do you think I should go for computer science or engineer?. I have a lot of basic or kiddy knowledge in both. I love repairing and fixing computer software n hardware.
Thanks!
It would seem the better fit would be a computer science related field. A field pertaining more to the programming and hardware stages of developing computers. As an engineer, it is an advantage to enjoy math, but not required, practice, practice and more practice helps with the math. Computer science would seem more hands on with computers as engineering would be more along the lines of developing new designs that pertain to circuitary design etc. As for many fields related to this one, knowledge is gained with experience rather than the classroom.

If you want to learn more about the hardware aspect, computer engineering is the way to go, but that will require more calculus. (Quite a bit of calculus) If you can handle that, many computer engineers find the math (and physics) sequence the most difficult of the major because it's the only thing they're not genuinely interested in. Computer Science you will learn more programming, computer science theory and computer engineering will be hardware, digital systems design, digital logic, low level programming
