I forgot to mention. Definitely check out dice.com (a job search site for IT jobs) and the IT postings on Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com to see what jobs are out there.

I used to be interested in going for Computer Science BS but I decided I prefer Computer Engineering BS. It's more hardware and networking.

Only read parts of this thread...

Biased opinion here since I am getting my CS degree in a few short weeks. The demand for people with a CS degree/good programmer is absolutely insane, the company I work for is having some difficulty finding people to fill open positions because everyone already has a job.

Do CS if you want to actually do the developing.
Do SE if you want to design the systems/architect
Do IS/IT if you want to work with networks
Do CE if you want to work with hardware / develop

Most importantly while you are an undergrad you will most likely have time to work on your own stuff, so create a github.com account and post up projects that you are working on. Even if you are a freshman, go apply for an internship at Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc... Shoot for the stars in terms of an internship because you'll eventually settle on an offer from an awesome company. Internships do NOT expect you to know everything and write production ready code. Internships are there to mentor you to become a better engineer, to teach you skills you will never learn in the classroom.
