I have listed myself as an electrical engineering major, because I like building small electronics projects and physics. When I ask people the difference between Electrical engineering vs. Computer engineering vs. Computer science I get mixed answers. Especially which mostly deals with hardware, microprocessors, software, etc. When I decided to go into electrical engineering I assumed I would be doing what I already love; using electronics to make life easier, designing circuits with ICs, soldering, working with microcontrollers like Arduino and entering the DIY community. This website sort of got me appeals to being a electrical engineer:

But it didn't answer a lot of my questions. I keep looking for a job description for what these three people do on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. And the curriculum for each degree. I know what college your going to and the company you work for matters, but there must be some general things they do.
I want to know what I'm getting into. I don't want to change my mind 2 or 3 years into my college education or hate my job. If any of you have any experience in getting these degrees, having jobs in these fields, or websites that list what I've asked for I'd really appreciate it.
Again, main things that get confused in each major/job: hardware, microprocessors, software.How ever, I've read a lot of relative articles to update, such as this kynix blog: http://www.apogeeweb.net/
ADDED LATER: My programming skills are limited to HTML and CSS that I just learned on my own. I'm taking a C++ course this upcoming semester but I don't think I'm going to get inspired because I hear the (only) professor offering it isn't a great teacher.
