Lol your dad probably still thinks this is like the 60s or something. Nah computer scientists and programmers are going to be the new doctors and lawyers of the future. With the way technology is going, engineering is going to become pretty redundant. Soon we'll be programming robots to fix themselves. |

I think computer programming might be the easier route as well. People nowadays can become amateur programmers all on their own just off the internet. For engineering there's a lot of hands-on stuff that you'll need to rely on the school to provide. |

Dude just pay for your own schooling if you have to, but please just choose what you feel is right for you. You don't want to regret decisions later on, simply because your parents said "be an engineer." I mean, if you want to be an engineer, do it, but don't make this an easy decision for yourself.

Maybe showing your father points that shows how computer programming will be important for the future will help. If he doesn't understand your point, give him some time and he might come around. Like anyone else in this thread I recommend studying what you want, and not what your father would want. It's your choice, you have to live with the decisions you make, and if he doesn't want to support you he is undermining your freedom. When you start studying you're an adult - you can make every decision in your own life without your father consent. I know it's hard to try and study without any support, but in the end I'd say it's worth it. |
