Alex only has a tech college so I was talking about Cloud. If you are interested in interfacing with hardware instead of maybe designing antennas or ICs, computer engineering is the way to go. You will need some programming but mostly for hardware. It is a degree offered by most Electrical and Computer Engineering departments (ECE). I heard that EE make more money but I am not in this field myself 
From an outsider's point of view, an EE could be an expensive screw/nut/gear in a corporate machine. They might be more specialized. If you want to start your own company, you need a lot of skills besides programming to make a product for a niche market. Trying to compete with the big fish is not possible. Say you envision "an underwater bamboo basket weaving machine" will be selling like hot cakes to those that wanted them but the big fish are simply ignoring them due to their small market size, you make it with off the shelf ICs and parts, write firmware for the weaving machine, and sell it. This involves a lot of programming and integration but zero skills in designing an IC. If this is the type of problem you would like to be solving, then find yourself in classes such as programming, mechanical engineering and even physics
I might feel better without the extended ice fishing season here but who knows? A job will find you and the job is where you go.
