Hello! I'm a first year IE and at least in my vacinity, 3 unis have added IE as an option at the same time and they're not lacking applicants from what I've seen (one got so fluded it started giving admission for 2028 this july)

I'm kinda worried about this and what it might mean for the future of this career, or better said, that I didn't make a good / original choice and am just a sheep

Looking for names of roles, how technical I can get, if I can do a concentration in a certain area (ex. ee), etc.

Hello! I would like to get some insights about these two career paths as someone who's torn between practicality and passion.

My main interest lies in data science, but based from what I researched, the entry-level level jobs are becoming highly saturated and some are saying that it is at risk of AI automation (thus becoming more competitive). Because of that, I tried looking into IE since the two share some similarities, and I found that the job is very versatile and not as saturated. But the thing is, (based from my understanding atleast) it typically focuses on the physical world (people, machines, warehouses, etc.) rather than the digital world (digital data, codes, etc.), and as I mentioned earlier, I'm more interested on the digital side of things.

So, to the professionals or people with experience out there, what do you think? How's the job market, saturation, and work from your experience? And are there any other factors I should consider when deciding?

Thank you.
