I did 1 year of EE before switching to CS, can a CS degree do firmware? /u/GASTRO_GAMING CSCQ protests reddit

I was just wondering how hire-able someone with that background could be for a firmware position.

my first year EE classes covered C then C++ and verilog. switched to CS because I did much better in my programming classes than my circuits one (i did regular circuits in the semester after digital and couldn’t do mesh/node analysis good), but still really like messing with micro-controllers in personal projects. I am also a bit worried that more high level programming fields would be quite saturated by the time I graduate and would like to specialize in lower level programming.

Do you guys have any advice on how to go about perusing this from a CS major?
