Is Industrial Engineering worth it?

Okay, so let me tell you a bit of my background.

I am currently a graduating Senior High School student, so next school year, I'll be in college na. I had decided that I will pursue Industrial Engineering back when I was still in Grade 10-11ish, so I've been eyeing this course for about 2 years already.

I'm not gonna lie, the primary reason why I got interested in it back then was because I'd heard from my older brother (who was studying Mechanical Engineering at that time) na wala daw board exam. Hence, I got interested in IE because I had this vague notion that I wanted to be an engineer.

When I searched more about IE, I began to understand that it is all about efficiency and systems/processes. I quite liked the thought of that. It is also a very versatile program kasi pwede kahit anong industry, so I think it's perfect for me kasi it gives me flexibility to transition to another industry if I really wanted to. Aside from that, I found out na parang business + engineering pala siya in one. So, I got more interested in it because I also like the business sector.

My parents and older brothers don't really support me that much regarding this course kasi nga walang board exam, etc. and, we recently got into an argument because of that. They'd rather want me to pursue Civil Engineering kasi sikat daw at magiging mayaman din daw ako in the future. At first, I actually believed them and was about to consider being one; but as it turns out, that was far from the truth.

Discovering this subreddit, I read that Civil Engineering is actually already saturated and because of that mababa na ang sweldo. So ekis na yan. And after ko pinaalam sa parents ko yung mga findings ko, parang nag give up na sila and they let me choose whatever course nalang daw basta makatapos. I symphathize with my parents kasi ako nalang yung pinapaaral nila sa family namin and they want what's best for me.

My eldest brother made me message his batchmate para maprove yung point niya na hindi daw yan maganda na course at walang masyadong opportunities in the future. And yeah, di rin recommended ng batchmate niya ang IE (kasi mas prefer daw ng mga employers ang may license) and just Engineering in general. Medyo nakakapanghinayang. Despite that, I was still thankful for the opportunity because I was able to get direct insight from a person who graduated from IE.

Though, with IE in mind, I have plans to get Lean Six Sigma, get Certifications for IE, learn a bit of coding or compsci (meron nung sa harvard na seminar online), have some internships for experience, etc. just to get a bit of an edge sa other majors.

As of the moment, I'm in the process of applying at AdDU at first choice ko talaga yung IE. But before I submit, I just want to know:

Is it really worth it to pursue Industrial Engineering?

P.S. I would really appreciate it if people who graduated from IE could tell me their experiences (especially if taga AdDU rin kasi I'm planning to study there).

I have a lot of faith and I'm really passionate about this program, but I do hope I'm not making the wrong decision.

Edit: I only planned to learn coding/compsci in case I wanted to branch out to IT (Data Analytics and the like), because if I'm going to be honest, I'm not really interested in the field that much.

I think I prefer more of a Business Analyst or an Operations Research Analyst type of role. I also quite liked management roles in general.

Anyway, thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my post! I may not get to reply to them instantly because I didn't think a lot of people would respond, but just know your insights are very, very helpful <3

Cheers!
