Another semester down

Well in another week I will be one semester away from receiving my first degree in Computer Engineering. The only thing is that apparently I've been studying about it for four years and know one really seems to know what the degree is all about. I mean seriously Electrical Engineers are normally hardware troubleshooters/designers and Computer Science majors are either developers/testers, so you'd think that Computer Engineers are the happy middle right? Well after going through the motions all I have to say is that is damn good question. I know a lot of people who are about to graduate as Computer Engineers and have no idea what their going to do or what company really needs a Computer Engineer. I think of all the majors this seems to be one of the more vague degrees one can get but you do straddle the line between Electrical Engineers and Computer Science majors often, but you never really focus on anything specific and the only scary thing is that when applying for a job your not sure what the hell your suited to do, at least based on your degree. In any case I got lucky and decided to specialize in software which took a lot more effort than I wanted. The only kind of sad thing is that for those who don't know what to do right away may be forced into graduate school. At least until they figure out what the hell they want to do, what an education system, its not like I have anything better but that's just my two cents.
