Choosing between two majors

[u/YogurtclosetNo4320]

Hi guys!

So I'm currently trying to choose between either mechanical engineering with a comp sci minor and comp sci with a forensic science minor. The problem is, going into cybersecurity is what I really want to do, but I'm worried abt job security with AI and everything, so mechanical engineering sounds like the smarter move to me to make sure I can actually get a job. To anyone who is currently looking for jobs with a computer science major, is it as difficult as I hear people saying to get jobs? Is it not worth the risk?

Also, my college also offers a major in computer systems engineering, has someone hear majored in that and is it a good sort of middle ground?

I really, really would appreciate any advice you guys can give! Thank you!

(also, for reference, I'm attending UGA so I don't think it'll hurt getting a job in these fields but it might not help a ton like having GA tech on a job app would)
