I got my B.S. in Computer Egineering largely since I thought it had a good future. (And it does in general) I now am getting my M.S. in Aerospace Engineering - and all I can say is I LOVE Aerospace when compared with computer engineering. I'm a much better student and I am so much more intersted in what I'm studying. Bottom line, it's good to consider how useful a degree is, but when you are comparing two very useful degrees, at that point it makes a lot more sense to do what you like more. As somone who spend 5 years in working before I came back to get my masters degree - I never realized how much more interesting and fun it could be, doing something you really enjoy. It's HUGE - don't underestimate it. Also you'll do better and advance faster in an occupation you really enjoy, so in the end you'll probably make more money too. So you really can have the best of both worlds. I recommend spending a few hours with a computer engineer, and a few with a civil engineer - ask yourself, "if I'm doing this the rest of my life - what whould I rather do". So for what it's worth quite stressing about silly details - do what you want to do.

Go to the college library (presuming you are a student) and review the Civil Engineering journals.
