I have a Computer & Electrical Engineering degree from Carnegie Mellon. Worked for the government and Lockheed before I got into something else a while back. If you like working with hardware, then go ahead and pursue a Comp/EE degree. Once you get past the shock of freedom, girls, parties, etc, you really need to ask yourself if you still want to go all the way with engineering, or switch into something like IS, Business, etc. Talk with juniors/seniors at the college. Check out their textbooks at the store, see if that's something you can dig. College is filled with people who don't know wtf they want to do in life, and end up graduating in 5-6 years. Don't be one of those people.

When you graduate, have a plan to get an master's degree, an MBA, CCIE, or something. An undergraduate degree will get you in the door, and that's about it. When I was at Lockheed, everyone on my floor had a Master's or PhD in math/engineering/compsci. The managers usually had a master's and MBA, or a PhD. If your grades are decent, you can get into a lot of graduate schools(Master's degree) for free if you agree to teach/research while you're there. Make yourself valuable. Just something to consider.

Best of luck
