I used to attend a community college where I studied Computer Engineering.
At some point I got caught up and dropped out of college.
( I have more than half of the total amount of credits needed to graduate )

looking at the tech market and how outsourcing is a big problem, I'm wondering if I should just transfer my credits towards an Architecture degree.

( I used to draw everyday as a kid. houses, buildings, landscape..etc etc etc )

My question is:

Computer Engineering or Architecture? which will benefit me the most in the long run?

( btw I'm not a 9 - 5 guy, I'm self employed in the trucking industry )
 
- What's your age?
- Do you have connections already established in either area/field?
- What's your TRUE passion, and something you could see yourself in long-term?
- How many credits did you amass in computer engineering in your time put in?
- How much time spent in college for same, and time still needed?
- How many years would it take to get an architecture degree?
- And would you have to take a few years of comm' college, and then transfer over to university for same afterward? Or all done in the CC setting?
 
What's your age? 26

- Do you have connections already established in either area/field? Nope, I went into the trucking industry, got lucky and never looked back.

- What's your TRUE passion, and something you could see yourself in long-term?
Drawing and building stuff.

- How many credits did you amass in computer engineering in your time put in?
about 30

- How much time spent in college for same, and time still needed?
spent 2 years, time needed..hmm 1.

- How many years would it take to get an architecture degree?
at the community college 2, university 4

- And would you have to take a few years of comm' college, and then transfer over to university for same afterward? Or all done in the CC setting?

Can do 2 @ CC, start working and finish up at a university I believe.
 
Not much new in the tech sector so if I were you, I'd keep the Computer Engineering but only as a minor. Look into medicine. It is where your longest and best chances for success will be. Its inflation proof, almost competition free, race resistant and you will always have a job.

true.
Well im not planning on leaving the trucking industry.
I'm working on turning my little upstart into a national corporation.
I've linked up with the right people and all that's holding me back now is capital/investors.

I just want to atleast have some sort of degree, just incase shit goes south.
I'll look into the medicine thing, I have the brain capacity for it.
( 97 average all throughout highschool, National Honor Society, Math club, Calculus etc etc etc )

Sounds good. If I were you I'd focus on locking in your hopes and dreams for turning your upstart into something large. For real. That's where your current true passion & experience lies. Plus you're already in the game and enjoying your work.

IF you're patient though ... maybe look into the architecture thing, but by the time you finish up all your studies you'll be early/mid-30s. Might not feel the same for it at that point in time (even though you could see yourself doing it long-term).

As Vegas noted though ... go where your heart/brain tells you to, man & "inflation proof, almost competition free, race resistant" sound like good inviting factors field-wise in the employment game.
