I’d like to start my path in the tech field because I’ve seen it’s a lot more rewarding financially and also the teams seem to be friendlier than the non tech ones where they basically eat you alive in corporate.
I’m leaned more towards AI advancements but I’m not so sure which career will help me more in that case. I’m open to suggestions
In: Engineering
It’s similar to the difference between a scientist and an engineer in any discipline, not just computer science. A scientist develops theories, designs experiments, comes up with new concepts. An engineer applies the theories and concepts to build new things.
In the case of computer science, a scientist comes up with new algorithms often based on esoteric mathematics (cryptography is one example), new technology for circuitry, new interfaces and ergonomic ways of interacting with machines. Software engineers take those things to craft software applications that can be sold and used.
