So yesterday I enrolled into SHS for electrical engineering without much research and then my family told me to actually check on what I want to do because I'm gonna be doing it my whole life

I don't find electrical engineering horrible (I can build a passion towards it) but I found that bsmec is closer to what I want to do in life (I always wanted to be a game developer since I was in kindergarten 🙏) pero how viable is it in practice? What's the job market environment like with bsmec? If things go bust is this degree viable in other jobs outside of the entertainment industry?

I'm torn between electrical and emc, one has a ton of opportunities and is safe and the other one is what I'm truly passionate about, I can go for electrical while learning game dev on the side (I already have some experience in game development)

I still have time to swap my electives but I wanna know if I should, I don't want to leave myself with a useless degree

​

So just today I enrolled into SHS and I chose STEM engineering (I know it's hard asf but I like engineering) pero when I was done my siblings told me that it's super competitive and I have to work extra hard to excel in engineering of all things

And on top of that the opportunity to go abroad is rarer compared to med/nursing (which I really wanna go abroad), my siblings told me that they had friends who went nursing to go abroad and then study there (which I am gonna consider as one of my options)

But in general I wanna go engineering, any tips on how to choose my course? I'm still between civil and electrical but I'm leaning towards electrical, and outside of that I'm open to any option that can get me out of this country with decent job opportunities abroad 🙏

Advice much appreciated

TL;DR: I wanna go abroad but not be med🤑🤑🤑
