If you want to learn how to solve problems with hammers, engineering is what you want to do. If you want to know how the hammer works, do mathematics or physics. If you want to get paid, do software.

This is why I did an EE degree, didn't get paid much, went into software and used that to pay for a mathematics degree.

This is outdated advice. If you want to get paid, get a hammer.

Develop an AI model that can generate an image of a hammer riding a bycicle.

And then fleece some VC investors and disappear before they notice you're losing money!
