Computer Science Vs Digital Marketing

[JohnIsDoe]

Trying to make a decision

1) Bachelors in Computer Science  at a mid-tier California university for $20,000/year. I would spend 2 years there. I come from community college so I have no debt as of now. I would have to take out the $40K in loans. But average software engineer starting salary is about $60-70K.

2) Drop out and take a $45,000/yr job in digital marketing. I learned digital marketing on my own because I heard it's a promising field, with lots of demand and potential for increased salary over span of a just a few years.

I like coding just as much as digital marketing.

What is the smarter career decision in your guys' opinion?

I appreciate it!

If you want a stable option go with Computer Science.

If you want a little bit more risky option go with digital marketing.
