I've been considering switching my major from Electrical Engineering (EE) to Computer Engineering (CPE), and I wanted your guys' opinion.

My problem with EE is that I have now started to get into all the analog electronics stuff and I have a pretty hard time with it. I really easily and quickly pick up digital logic and programming kind of courses, but this analog electronics course I am taking now has just been brutal on me.

EE:
Pros:
-Bigger job market for EE
-Already taken some EE only courses

Cons:
-I have trouble with analog stuff

CPE:
Pros:
-Higher starting salary for CPEs (~$2000/yr more)
-Courses would be easier for me

Cons:
-I would have to catch up on about 3 classes I missed

What do you guys think? Should I tough it out as an EE or should I change to what would be an easier major for me?
