      CE is neat because most companies will treat you as if you had a CS or EE degree. Can always pivot to HW or FPGA

      I’m probably going to cop a few downvotes for this, but in my whole career the only software engineers I ever met who were worth a damn were people who loved it for its own sake, and would be doing it regardless. So, if your feelings about the field are such that you’re thinking you might be better off doing a trade, you’d definitely be better off doing a trade.

      Good luck either way.
