Hello everyone!

Currently deciding on accepting my offer to Cal Poly SLO for Computer Engineering or UC Berkeley for Statistics/Data Science.

Leaning towards Berkeley because of the “prestige” but Cal Poly would probably provide more job security because of the hardware aspect. I’m worried about the data science roles being automated by AI in the years to come. Do you see this happening to the field of statistics or do you think the jobs are safe?

Also not sure how necessary grad school is coming out of cal poly or Berkeley to land roles.

Any advice on choosing a school is greatly appreciated, thank you!
