What do you think is harder, enterprise computing or software engineering? and which one is more fun to take?
And how should someone decide between taking SE or ENT?

From my experience, the subjects aren't too difficult if you are keen to learn about it, but theres not a lot of resources to rely on for these subjects in terms of past papers and whatnot cus theyre new subjects. The people who do good in my class are those who go home and code as a hobby. For my school we only have project work for assessments like creating apps and stuff, however it differs for each school. But majorily they all revolve around the same criteria given by NESA. From my friends that take enterprise computing, you do go for work experience like IT support which doesnt sound too bad, but you dont do any work experience for SE. From my knowledge, ENT is more based on business operations like IT support, while SE is very prac and theory based? I think itd be better for you to look into the syllabus of each subject and think about what suits you better tbh.

Damn you do work experience? I wish we could do that, we spend our time in Enterprise doing booklets and we design stuff on Excel, Figma, Access. It is more revolved around using software as opposed to making software (the most coding we have done is SQL).

Yeah maybe its just a thing for School of Now (the program my school runs Enterprise computing through), but my friends go out and do tech support at schools and businesses which is pretty interesting.
