So im nearing the end of my high school education. As such I have been thinking rather ofter about my plans once I graduate. I currently have two ideas 1)Computer engineering (Focusing on the hardware) or 2) Mathematics (Focusing on pure mathematics). What I want to do on the computer engineering side is the design of hardware and the like, and research on the mathematics side. Since this is a place where a lot of knowledgeable people in computer sector would gather I have decided to get the opinion of the people on these forums. So basicly, how is the job market in the hardware engineering going and whats your opinion on Math vs engineering

What will matter most is your mathematical reasoning ability, not your mathematics knowledge level. In my experience, this is how prepared SAT math scores (taken after one is a senior and has prepared some) predict ability to handle engineering mathematics:

750-800: No challenge outside of pure math classes.

700-750: Strong performance in the math used in engineering classes, great difficulty with pure mathematics.

650-700: Significant difficulty with math in engineering classes.

600-650: Great difficulty in mathematics used in engineering classes, hard but not impossible to overcome.

500-600: Able to solve mathematical problems used in engineering with great effort, and probably a low GPA.

Of course how well that fits you depends on what school you end up going to and how much you studied for the math SAT and the math classes you take at college.
