I'm choosing my career...computer engineering?

i've always been entertained by taking apart cell phones, computers, pager anything electronic and putting it back together...once i even fixed a calculator without knowning what the hell i was doing. i was going to choose architectural engineering but its just not realistic. i would like to know from all those computer engineers out there, what you like about the job, if you have a good economic position, what college you went to and what your opinion is on the career. also the job opportunities available in the upcoming years. im a senior in high school looking for help. thnks!
